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.

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

suaveflooder · 10-27-2013, 05:25 PM

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

Nice. I think it's gonna look good

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

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
