If i was gonna paint match it would have to be glossy and smooth or no dice
i sanded it but it really only takes about 10 min if that, because you are only sanding the outside perimeter sides since the front is covered by the plate and the back by the car. it's definitely worth it, i finished mine with a gloss and even though the color isn't exact, the frame doesn't stand out like a sore thumb, it tends to blend in. worth the $8

It was all done with vinyl. First the red went on then the chrome lettering. It's not that hard if you are good with a knife

That looks awesome 07tl-s6spd! Very unique!

Ok so....Wanted to add something... and get UA7 Squad's opinion.
A week ago I had a custom magnaflow quad installed.... It looked good but needed something...Today I just finished installing my ASPEC kit... here's a few pics of the rear before and now with the ASPEC Kit on... I think it looks perfect now! What do you all think?

Lex, that looks really nice. I typically don't end up liking most tips besides the stock type s, but those look good.

That looks great. Just not sure if I can afford to lose mudflaps.

Did you have to paint those?? Being how that color is discontinued.

I like how the mudflaps look too... but the ASPEC just makes it so much more perfect. I only had to paint the side skirts. The front and rear came OEM painted.
