The Drop and Grille
Hey guys I got some pics of my drop finally and the Grille that I painted up real quick yesterday.
The drop still is going to settle another .1-.2 inches in the next 500 miles.
The Grille is painted gloss black in the back and the trim and Acura logo is painted hyperblack to match the insides of my wheels, when they are clean. it took a good hour to sand, prime paint and clear. and yes I did use rattle can. I'm planning on painting some interior pieces and maybe woodgrain gloss black as well.
There are more pics on my cardomain site
