I was thinking of doing that but I'm gonna go with black to match the grill and the rest of the look.
As for the girll, I got lazy of doing the emblemless. It was pretty much done, but I want it perfect. Part of it was showing the crack from when I glassed it and I want to be pleased with it. I'm at the point where I want a show quality car even if I'm not entering the big shows. Quality is what really matters to me. That's why I went to the place I did for my bumper being painted (MOB Works). Paint match is dead on, which I find hard to come by on the IP.

Heard there maybe issues with it, like cracking cos of pressure, or whatever...my main concern is if something gets damages, its more to repair. When the time comes I'm going to look around, get different opinions, then make a decision. I dont like going off one opinion...what may be true for one or a few is not true for all...won't be for a while though.
City needs to get their budget in shape so they can hire me full time already, I need more mods

Only thing about touchup paint on IP is the color matching...SO off...I'll leave the sanding to the pros. You can see what happened on the hood. Rock chip the size of a penny, then I tried to sand and made it worse. Now I need to cover with a sticker, lol.
I'm really happy with bumper...after taking it for a spin, more heads turned ...

Did a quick ghetto job. Primer one layer, then thick layer of gloss. Came out pretty good for as lazy of a job it was. Finished them so quick.
Yeah fiberglass, but some good stuff...THICK. I definitely needed to angle it more, but some stupid guy on a bicycle wouldnt move. Shouldan honked my horn but I woulda risked my car being kicked, then I woulda gotten pissed and thrown the guy off his bike and roll it down the street....or just cussed at him.
