Lower trim

spridge · 06-23-2021, 06:10 PM

I'll do a full write up once clear coat and reassembly is complete, but here's a preview for anybody who's interested. G80 M3C, Toronto Red

DoubleDave · 06-23-2021, 06:35 PM

I think I like where this is heading.

Sueta · 06-24-2021, 06:16 AM

Please share the final result

Der_Wolf · 06-24-2021, 11:04 AM

Very cool. Seems like you did a nice job on it so far!

mattssi · 06-24-2021, 11:30 AM

Cool. Looking forward to it.

spridge · 06-24-2021, 12:56 PM

Now with clear. I should be able to show a preview of the car temporarily reassembled later today

IND-Distribution · 06-24-2021, 02:46 PM

This is going to come out looking great.

Next phase of what is now a a perilous journey - apparently the PPG instructions for painting Toronto Red over white primer resulted in a different final color than the one that came from the factory. @IND—Distribution probably knows all about how that can happen! Respraying some test panels over black and a few gray primers now to get an exact match, then back to repainting. Will be back in a week or so with a final result

Thanks for the update man and for blazing a trail here. I can’t say that I would do the same thing but this is looking good.

TheShiftyBadger · 06-26-2021, 12:38 PM

Very cool! As a fellow Toronto Red owner, I'm very excited to see how this turns out. Super unique idea.

jpsimon · 06-28-2021, 09:23 AM

Nice!! I had the same idea:

I'm excited to see a real world example of this.

spridge · 07-01-2021, 09:30 AM

Now we have a match (factory-painted part in the middle.) Polish and assembly tomorrow.

DoubleDave · 07-01-2021, 11:26 AM

Really looking forward to seeing the final result!

spridge · 07-02-2021, 03:43 PM

Here's a preview from the painter. I'll take and post better pics tomorrow after I pick it up. I feel like it should have come from the factory painted like this

I love it, and you’re right..it should have come like that from the factory.

Looking forward to more pics.

Ghozthunter · 07-02-2021, 10:08 PM

I'll just be honest here, I don't like it but that doesn't matter. As longest you like it is what counts. Nice concept, giving people more ideas and options.
Perhaps if it was lowered with spacers?

Multimodal · 07-03-2021, 01:17 AM

That looks awesome. Well done!

I'll show everyone how it looks lowered and with spacers after this weekend. Paint first, then home to my lift for MSS HAS and spacers. 😉

spridge · 07-03-2021, 10:28 AM

New pics from this morning

Daveneezy · 07-03-2021, 02:13 PM

Looks awesome! Great execution

Ghozthunter · 07-03-2021, 10:38 PM

Maybe it was the pictures, kinda like it now lol I specifically like the front end, I think it blends in well now. Will look really good dropped with spacers.

krakenXIV · 07-04-2021, 11:48 AM

This looks stunning, great job!
