bling !!!!!!!!!

[smartsally]

I have it!!!!!!!My exhaust is on the smartie and I think it looks great. I am thinking about painting the Blindy valance a shiny black and hope the new muffler stands out through the valance. What do you think? Thanks again Bil for setting me up with my new back end purchases.Pics below.

Good call on the black paint. Flat black would really highlight what you want it to, moreso than shiny black....

[smartsally]

Was debating that too especially because the original valance was a flat black and looked pretty good on the car. Another thing I need help with is what paint brand to go with if I was to do it. The blindy valance is a brushed steel or aluminum so it should take a coat of good paint well I think.

[smartsally]

Also would anyone suggest another color completely to go with since the car is totally black already?

[Coast Steve]

All black, all black!

[Coast Steve]

Take it to the paint shop and go all silver.That's what we wanted originally

[SCHMART]

I think it looks great as it is.

Nice !!Your panel are very shiny !!!! It is a normal panel or you have change it ?

[smartsally]

Nope, same panels, she just looks hawt after a bath.

I'd go with a good heat-resistant matte black paint. I've never liked the way steel valances look on the back. And it'll make your exhaust tips stand out beautifully.

[smartsally]

I will look into the heat stuff too, Thanks for all the replies everyone

We can get it properly powder coated for about $35, Sally.B:sun:

That was my first original Blindschleiche valance before I swapped it out in favour of the Michalak.Yours got recycled to joker but then he modded his oem plastic valance with nice cutouts and trim.Bil

[smartsally]

Nope,,, I wasn't there, I didn't do it

[smartsally]

Ok I think I have decided. Going to go with the powder coat flat black Bil mentioned since it is so cheap and supposed to last long. I looked at the grill as it is and I don't like the two metals together as they are although they look good in pictures. Will let you all see the pics once done,,, wish me luck.

I don't think you have enough Merc stars, 2 more and I think people might start believing it is.

[smartsally]

I have no intentions of making anyone believe but I love my stars,,, didn't we go through this before on another thread with you and someone else?

[Coast Steve]

You go girl !

[smartsally]

I'm on him Ain't nobody gonna dis ma bling.

[Evilution]

Nobody needs to

[deezle]

Looks awesome!I agree that a black valance is a good idea. I'd also lose the shiny De Dion suspension ends now that you've got the real deal.

[smartsally]

Thanks Deezle, I will consider that too. Once I get the valance painted I might want to add more chrome to the back as long as it won't end up looking junkie. I am thinking of one of those chrome trim things that goes over the licence plate

[NJV]

It's a quad exhaust right now. hehe

[smartsally]

Maybe I will shine those two end caps up and tell people those are my after burners.
