Estoril blue M3 repaint pics; storm/parking garage/creativity | NO 56k

Well, as some of you know, a series of vandalism crap left my car with a screwed up front end (nose panel, fender, grills, turn signals, etc.. also left me with bare metal over the back end where someone poured paint stripper all over the car.)

I recently got the car back from BMW of Fairfax's body shop (awesome work) and decided I should do a photo shoot. I was actually bringing the car over to my local parking garage because there was some hail in the storm, but it ended up prodiving some awesome pictures as well.

Let me know what you think. (FYI the only new mods on the car since the last post are new fogs with blue lamin-x stone guard, new ZKWs with whatever the latest DDEs are, and new turn signals.. all insurance stuff.) I need to paint the new kidney grills black again..

let me know what you think..

too many people black out the chrome grills and in my opinion they look cheap blacked out, unless its a black car, but ur car looks awsome man, it really sucks it got vandalized but atleast u got a couple of new things out of it and a new paint job

If anything the black is more understated, chrome is pretty much always a "look at me" thing, and the way I see it.. the slats in the actual grills are black, so it's not like it clashes (especially as long as my trim is still black) it matches the main bumper grill too.

Chrome matches.....nothing, it's the only chrome piece on my car other than the trunk button.

I dunno, I'm only set on it because that's the way the car was before I got new grills at the body shop, so I'm used to it.
