^The mt fuji will be done in IP, but no gloss grill. Grill must match headlights

^ gloss black grille and headlights ftw then ;-) then it'll flow better with your roof and mirrors, the red tail lights would flow better with the theme if they were tinted too

I like the black...but unsure if I would go gloss though.

I def do not like the color matched mirrors (entire base). Makes the car look like it's been repainted and the shop just sprayed everything

The black mirrors remind me of base model cars that came with black mirrors while the higher models came with color matched mirrors. Basically, color match.

I read a post about how the paint comes off easily on the base of the side mirrors, can anyone vouch for this?

^It's all about prep bro. A good painter using good products can make paint stick to almost anything

You don't want black mirrors with a IP sedan, you'd look like a damn PANDA. Keep it all uniform with IP on the bases too....

I agree that IP with the base painted also works but with the theme of his car all black does work too.
