I don't know if you painted it, or want to paint it, or looking for opinions if you should do it or not. And that's got to be some of the worst picture taking EVER.

Its a strange concept, its called before and after. It helps one get an idea of what it looked like before, and after.

Less is more?

Saving weight for more performance? Yes, agreed.

Aesthetically? That's the perfect guideline for a boring thread. I'm thanking all the frequent Car Talkers for making this somewhat entertaining.

I'm sorry, but this thread is pretty amusing given the minimal changes and the questionable picture quality showing before and after-- the change can be seen, but just barely.


IMO, it's better to either plasti-dip all the trim and grill horizontals or leave the grill stock.

What's the difference between plasti dip and paint spray from a plastic can?

By the way, OP, your pics are worse than worser!

This is a clearer picture of the OP's car. He sprayed some paint on the front of it.
