I myself like the gray but I think the black looks better on your car.

Seeing it on the car, thanks to a very expensive program I have called paint, I like the idea a lot more.

Good point. Maybe this weekend I'll do a really dark trim dye, and see how I like it.

yeah, I'll probably do a dye first. If it gets as close as 850tony's did on his wagon, then I should like it. Hopefully autozone has something like that so I don't have to order it. I still have to figure out what's making that annoying ash vibrating sound and figure out my speakers (neither of my rear driver side speakers work, so it must be the harness).

ya, like i said that was after one coat.is ur bumpers are more gray and *chalky* then you will have to do more coats untill it is black enough. make sure to tape off the areas, other than that a two year old finger painting could do it, its that easy.

o and dont get the **** on ur hands, haha

I did

It stained my hands black. After cleaning my hands with Goop, the stains came off my hands but would not come off my fingernails.

My fingernails looked perfectly painted and I looked totally goth. Had to use nail polish remover twice to get it off

I voted for Black. I would also consider window tint and black hid lights. The car looks great!

Yeah, that would be my major goal. BUT, my want for an R keeps growing, and I think it's at that point that I'm not going to spend any more money this car, and instead, start saving for an R. And then once I get that, transfer everything that I've done to this, over to that.

Try Forever Black. It's a dye that works great. On any color other than black I would vote for grey, not on yours. Black looks way better.
