    Question Black Trim

    I sprayed my door mouldings while the car is getting painted. I used semi-gloss black bumper & trim spray paint. I'm going to continue it around my bumpers too. I'm wondering if all the black trim on the car is the same color. If so, I'm going to spray it all. Does anyone know? If they're different, what would be the best color choice?

    I was thinking about that route also. The only thing is I'm eventually gonna have them shaved anyway. Actually, that probably doesn't explain why but I don't really have a reason right now.

    Elbow Grease

    My big strong arms got those off. LOL. I just kinda pulled on them. The doors have a nut on the back edge but the rest is clips. Broke almost every damn one of them too. Oh well. I ordered more. Hopefully they get here soon.

    I Really think they look best black. Adds a lot of contrast to the car.. Goes with the design. But then again, I love stock stuff.. And I love those wheels.
