Nice color, but I'm wondering why the front turn signals and side markers weren't removed prior to painting. Are you going to leave the air dam orange?

As Im sure you are aware, there are often complications with front and rear bumper covers not aligning properly when replacing with a non original part that was already installed on the car. It was mounted and then body work was done to make them flush and was left slightly hanging in the painting process. In that manner because the bumper was not going to be removed, the lights were installed and protected with tape.

The orange in the airdam is simply to protect the airducts and grills from paint.

Like I stated this is a teaser as the car was just removed from paint. And is not the finished product.

Thanks for sharing. I'm certainly in for the final photos. Was going to go with similar color six months ago when I did a repaint, but I chickened out. I'm impressed with the outcome. I think you done good in your choice. I for one want to see your finished product. Again, "Nice Job!"
