Need Opinions NOW!!!!
Ok, so my car JUST got painted like a month ago, and for $1000bucks they didn't do the best job. Anyways, there is some touchups to do and they are taking my car in tomorrow morning to do them. Now, i was thinking, should i get that black stripe along my doors painted to match my car? And Should I get the mirrors painted to match my car? What do you all think??

I just noticed his is an LX anyway. I don't know, something about unpainted moldings, handles, and mirrors just look cheap.

k, i'll try to get the mirrors, and stripe painted to match....but i think i should just leave the door handles for now. I can always paint that by myself if i want. And what "moldings" are you talking about that should be painted?
(and i only painted them for the normal paintjob, so might not even be able to get it all painted, i'll keep you updated) |
