Project Smooth whiteout
 

Decided ill start a thread about this.

Im currently trying to make my car look as sleek and clean as possible, and this made me come to a conclusion that i MUST get rid of some useless things on the car.

Two main things that i realized had to go where the side markers and the ugly antenna. People usually slap on Clear side markers and a shark fin antenna but both failed impress me. Paint matching side markers is a big thing with USDM spec euro cars, for ex benz's with the crappy orange on their bumpers or beamers;people usually paint those. Regarding the antenna i knew i wanted to delete it ( Thanks to @SLICVIC) and get a super clean roof without wrapping it black which i hate on white cars, or filling up(welding) the whole and painting my car.

So here is what i have and ill update with pictures once stuff is one the car

How much was it to get the sidemarkers paint matched? That's gorgeous, I would love to do that.

contact F-T, i recommend paint matching a USDM set ( orange) because they are flat ;)

interested in how your deleting the antenna.

i haven't done it yet because im lazy and cant be bothered to pull off the headliner atm

so, by deleting the antenna, are you just giving up on radio? Just using blue tooth and CD's?

i can run a hidden antenna through my headliner or work something out, i dont mind giving up radio though

Nice. I think it's gonna look good:thumbsup:

If you were going to color match the markers, why not sand down the raised numbers/letters before paint?

because i had a shop do it and i didn't even send them instructions( via pm ). I just told them do it and they did a good job. i was annoyed by it, but once they're on the car you cant even notice them

:w00t:

They seem pretty noticeable in the picture you posted.

Ah well. :iono:

:sigh: can't please em all I guess. I'm happy with them and that's what matter, but I truly respect your opinion.

In person ( mounted on the car) nobody realized the lettering, but if you go and stick your face to it it's going to show obiuvsly
