I spent all day on this. I took out everything beside the big plastic pieces. It came out really nice...I still have to do my door sills and kick panels though. What do you think?

Not sure about the sail panels yet...they seem to actually look pretty good..

The color matching looks great. I think you should try making the JL logo three dimensional with a bevel edge or something similar. Would look a lot better than the flat stuff you have there.

what paint did you use?
It's a spray made by "Dupli-Color", about 6 bucks a can. It's a Textured Metallic Graphite Paint. It goes on very easy.....but it's hard to not get metallic on everything. Even though I masked everything in site....my whole car has metallic all over it...so I have to work and work to get it all off.

I actually coated it with the same spray I did my stereo equipment with. It's a Metallic Textured Graphite Spray....then with a coat of Flat Clear. It's very very dark grey.

It's a Metallic Textured Graphite Spray made by "Dupi-Color"....then with a coat of Flat Clear. It's very very dark grey. IT didn't take very long....just have to let it dry..and stuff. I had to mask everything in site...it would have been TONS easier to take everything out...but I can't because of my roll bar.
