Worlds First Frozen Gray 1'er (painted)

S54dan · 10-27-2010, 12:50 PM

Love it.

Elsabor67 · 10-27-2010, 02:40 PM

Very well executed. It looks awesome. How long did it take the shop?

tonmonde · 10-27-2010, 02:56 PM

Super nice!

datbimmerdoe · 10-27-2010, 04:16 PM

nice!

MarkR171 · 10-27-2010, 04:24 PM

Nice, but with a paint job like that, it desperately needs mods. In stock form, I think stock paint is better, a matte gray paint job like that calls for tasteful performance oriented mods.

Suspension and matte black Apex Wheels and wide tires for example.

With a stock car, matte paint just looks like primer. Looks unintentional.

Meh.....unless you get some wheels to go with the color it just does not look good to me.....just MHO....wheels like mine would really set it off...or some black DPE's like RandomQuickness had(has?).

Veady nice! Now you can take your car in for service and get it washed and not have to worry about swirls anymore!!

Looks hideous. Why would you paint a car the color of primer?

vladberca · 10-28-2010, 09:13 AM

Needs some mods asap

dmboone25 · 10-28-2010, 09:20 AM

The outside pics look better.

I still think you need different wheels, but I am liking it.

MFIZZLENYC · 10-28-2010, 09:41 AM

Wheels and Mods will be for the spring... I have a Dinan M5 so thats were most my funds go... I could do some forged wheels and CF mods but the ESS blower for the M5 is on the top of my list for now....

Thanks for all the nice comments

XC · 10-28-2010, 10:48 AM

Do this finish requires any extra-care (as I remember BMWs original paint does)?

ben14142001 · 10-28-2010, 01:05 PM

Looks awesome.

mrgoochio · 10-28-2010, 01:14 PM

that paint looks awesome in the pics. probably even better in person

Forget the old m5 and make this car FAST!!!

Send it to AR and see if they will fit it with a single turbo by spring or get rb turbos and bolt on's

Bigtex1076 · 11-06-2010, 02:17 PM

That is NICE I think might stillthat color and throw a flat black in between the center lines on a Prior Body kit.

BerkTechnology · 11-07-2010, 12:41 PM

Awesome Work! Wheels Now!

Raine · 11-07-2010, 01:01 PM

Looks amazing! Like the above poster said, a nice set of wheels would make this car looks even more killer.
