Quick question. How is that paint and do they sell over seas? also why did u cover the car? why didnt you just paint the jams and the whole car one time? and why not Acura White Diamond Pearl?

Too bad tlpinoy is out of the game...
There is a difference here, though.
Other person is getting Glacier Frost Mica Pearl while tlpinoy had Star Fire Pearl.
SFP has more of a shine and a 'white base'.
GFMP has a more 'flat' color and at certain angles you will see either a blue or pink hue to the white.


GFMP on left // SFP on right

I vote you leave it on. Color match it instead. That would look kickass...

I say go for it.
If I ever have to get body or paint work on the trunk area of my car I'm getting mine shaved. I would remove mine now if it weren't for the damn holes.
