Very impressive. I don't get how you were able to paint the jambs in a garage?

Can't wait for the finished product.

think about if you paint it black, its going to eventually chip and really show. I'd say keep it like it is or paint it like what jaber saif

For white I would not do a black lip, I did a black lip on mine but AM is already a dark color so it needed contrast as you could barely see it otherwise and I also have the black front ACURA inserts now, black emblems, black roof, black bake calipers and other various black accenting. But yeah white might be a bit much I would probably leave it but hey its your car if you want to do it, then do it. I did hear you say you had a black grill so it might look nice.

Sounds nice man, get the inserts. Also you gotta get some more aggressive rims aspecs are not gonna be good enough for this car. Get some black with like a red lip dude at my work has a white BMW e90 with black rims and red lip it looks so sick.
