eles1 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I was getting ready to say "just leave it stock" until I saw your pictures. I gotta say, it looks good painted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 My thought is that the line or the wings in the center carries the line from the headlights. The chrome surround just sort of ruins that and you completely miss the line because it's "blocked" by the ring. Maybe I'm crazy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 minus the chrome is better -- i would do the center as well, but definitely the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiem Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 dont paint it.. once you do, you'll keep doing the touch-ups.. rock chips will contribute to it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 I wouldn't paint it with just touch up spray paint or anything, I'd have a body shop do it to match and they use a good ammount of plasticizer in the clear to prevent chipping. It'd be better than the Subaru paint at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest clawdnb Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 cut all of the chrome out and replace it with mesh and logo of your choice, i chose the GT off the back of the car http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/web/2037000-2037999/2037539_41_full.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Alright, getting it painted just to piss of Rao. He's just opposed to any modding of cars period. I'll post pix when it's done. I'm excited because I know this body shop (Car Medics in Arlington Heights) does an awesome job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rony Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Ok, kinda off topic... But answer me this.... Why is the grill chrome? When no other external parts, and internal are chrome? Just seems out of place.... My Car vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Go ahead and paint it. It will look great when the paint starts to chip off. Nothing like chrome under rock chips. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .
