Finally cleaned up the grey

I finally got around to scrubbing my ugly grey rocker panels. I still need to get a few more spots (the paper towels bubbled), but over all, the DIY works!

check my sig for a before pic...

after:

What would be a fair price to get my 2 bumpers painted to match? 100$? I have local guy that said he would do it for cheap. Thanks for looking

Looks nice, my rockers need a bit of a touch up as well. Are you planning on getting clear side markers to go with the corners and tails?

im actually going to smoke my amber ones instead of getting clears... I think it would look better. There is nothing clear on the sides of the car to set off the clear side marker look.

Crazed,
Cheap is not always best!!!! Or is Pricey for that matter. Just be informed, make sure they R&I (remove & install) the bumper covers. If not you will probably have problems with clear starting to peel (if they use clear as opposed to single stage) in the tough to scuff areas. Make sure they use good materials such as Glasurit, Sikkens or Spies, plus adhesion promoter & flex. It may appear to be an easy job, but if done correctly it will take some time on the techs part. Your car looks good bro, love it & it will love ya back.

hehe, I've watched all 4 seasons from netflix, waiting for the 5-6 seasons to come out next week!!!! OFF TOPIC, but - Sopranos is one of the best written shows out there. IMHO
