I noticed when I did my rear valance that you really can't blend the paint!

Still the IS is looking awesome! Can see why you don't want to swap for a chrome turd, looks fantastic in the pics!

I noticed when I did my rear valance that you really can't blend the paint!

Hence why i sprayed the whole thing, it was like black on white

that area is all textured and never really gets cleaned

Post Sat Sep 19, 2009 12:29 am

Well atleast you did a poroper job, and didn't paint it all white like some people do!

Only if it had SE skirts

Post Sat Sep 19, 2009 12:31 am

Black SE skirts, and a black IS lip would look

Post Sat Sep 19, 2009 12:32 am

Black IS lips look Shite

would rather have a standard SE Little lip thing

Post Sat Sep 19, 2009 12:36 am

Is there really only that rust!

Have you had the carpets out? Boot caprets as well?

Just can't believe how rust free it has managed to stay!

Post Sat Sep 19, 2009 12:44 am

Ollie its Fooking mint

dont have a pic of otherside but its the same

the under side is like new, not even any rust starting

Bulkhead mint, battery tray mint, scuttle mint, sunroof panel mint, arches mint, behind front mud flaps mint.

once the small patch in the inner wheel arch on the front is done, there would be no rust issues AT ALL, not even surface rust anywhere

Well this is on the to do list

Decided to Paint the sills since they had white bits showing through as if the black was wearing off. Also painted my IS lip black.

Still had a little over lapping at the top but is an improvement.

Other side

Also fixed OBC lightboard bulbs

Is Lip, was going to spray it white put aerosol was spitting so just used satin black

Post Sat Oct 17, 2009 6:33 pm

That black IS lip looks so much better imo!

And the sills look great too!

Not sure on your latest headunit choice though!

thats a 1996 alpine unit with cd multi changer in the boot

i'm actually really pleased with the IS lip, looked way better than i thought, i thought it would look utter shite

lip is easy to repair now when you knock it

You need to lower it mate!
