Those look really nice! So I just re-read your post and it says you were applying 3 coats of gloss. Is that the plasti dip glossifier or just some clear coat? Thanks again for your help. Cheers!

I believe any clear would do but I did use the glossifier.

I will walk out a snap a pic and post it in just a bit. I thought it was pretty simple. I ordered it through South Atlanta Mini online. I couldn't pass up an error that had a flat rate shipping of $6.00 for it. So that worked out perfect for me. Going to install the coilovers and camber arms this weekend. I will probably do the wheels/tires sometime next week.

Here is a quick iPhone pic I took yesterday of the JCW front lip. Do not mind the bug guts on it already.

Ordered custom white face gauges from Outmotoring! Had them in my R53 and they rock! Also ordered the JCW plugs from Way.

I like. Mine is coming with the pitch fork. I may have to find someone who can swap them out. Also I want to do Silver on my roof.

:thumbsup: Love the front lip. Did you just get the front lip or whole package? If just front, where did you purchase and how much?

You can buy the lip from sewell parts or from ecs. Ecs is much lower cost.

Got matte black sport stripes w/ neon green accents. Also did neon green stripes over the JCW scuttles. Last but not least neon green "4".

Sorry for the poor iPhone photos and the car being dirty. Will post better pictures after I get the KW V3's installed and a car wash.

Popped them off and covered the jcw red w/ neon green vinyl. The thin stripe is 7/32" and the thicker stripe runs to the edge then trim off.

Installed by BlackJack mirror caps. Took all of 5 minutes to do and makes a huge difference. The only "tool" needed was a butter knife to press on the tab inside the mirror housing. And to think the dealer wanted $75 to install them!
