  • Back From Paint!

    My Xenon front is on and painted. I think they did a great job because everything is tight to the body and the paint matched very well.





    Ill try and get some clearer pics once the weather gets nice again and i can wash and wax properly.

      Looks good. Isnt there a certain period of time before you should wash & wax after a paint job?

          looks very nice!. goes good with the grill. i have a question though, i know that the xenon peice is only like half the bumper, right? now does it over-lap the orginal peice or do you have to cut off the old one. i wondering because i bought my car wrecked and i need 2 fenders and a front bumper cover. and i was looking at the xenon myself ( on ebay)

            it goes over the factory bumper. So it would be more like a bumper cover and there is no cutting involved for installing. All you do is screw it in with like 8 screws (maybe less maybe more) and some 3m tape to make it tight to the bumper and thats it.

              if you want though, you can use glaze. it will shine up like wax would, and wont compromise the paint.

                  my car does have the sport appearance package so it would look funny unless you got the entire body kit. I just got the front because i already have side skirts. The xenon piece would cover up the damage, but i doubt it would fit right with the damage. Especially near where the fender meets the front end. Then again im sure you would get a better answer from a body shop.

                          i cant legally drive it. i think i put like 8 miles sence i got it. its a 5-speed so my dad lets me take it out every now and then to get use to driveing a stick. the only reason he let me get the car is because its wreck. and by the time its fixed ill be almost 16 anyway. ill be 15 in august and im still looking for fenders.the body shops around here said the aftermarket ones are wavey becuase their plastic and they flez and stuff. but orginal fenders are like 260$ :(

                              really? thats good to know. the guy showed me and my dad a after-market fender and it just had primer on it and you could see how wavey it was. so with shiney/glossy paint it would look real bad.so im still thinking. i dont know i wonna get my car done already though. :(
