Ahh Bummer. You saw that huh? lol. I have some other work that I'm doing to it and then I will get the swirls gone.

Thanks. I'd love to get some black classics with polished lip but for now chrome will do.

I hear that but I don't see it happening.

Guess it needed multi coats of filler to get it flush. Just wondering if you had the same problem and how it was remedied. Again, your car looks great!
If you're looking for it you'll see it. I did everything short of cutting it all out behind the plate and making it just one thin peice. That would be the next step. I have not a clue. It looked great up until I sprayed and theres the lines. I'm still glad I did it. I still prefer the looks of this then the separte peices. You reall do have to look very close to see it.

Let me know when you are ready to paint my front corners.
Oh yeh...hmm...We'll see what I can do. There are still a couple other guys that have been asking about that the mov forums. I'll try to figure out some dates that I can do it. PM me for my cell.

Once again thanks everyone about the comments about the flairs, ghost emblems, aci ground efficts and the molded in front end, and black outs. I love it all. And they all so far have worked very well with each other in blending and making a sleeker ride IMHO.

Thanks

They are the real (funcional). I don't understand why anyone would just go for the look. If you're going to do it might as well do it right.
