Message	Hey all Those of you with pearl cars probably have heard of the difficulty in matching the paint. I was having the same problem here. However, I will soon be in need of functional intercooler vents and I wanted to try something short of painting the whole car (: I decided to try to install the stillen TT lip over top of my NA fascia on the convertible so that only the lower lip would need to be painted. I also picked this lip because it has the indentation for the pinstriping along the top that (hopefully) creates a bit of a visual break between the old paint and the new paint. I had the lip painted at Concours Collision. I think that they did a really nice job. They matched the paint from the original paint code and the fuel door (which I removed so they had an actual paint sample). The lip is not fastened to the fascia in the pics but you can get a sense of the color match from the pics. I think that I will reinstall the pinstriping, and have the whole lip covered with 3M film prior to fastening it to the fascia. Anyways, what do y'all think? test fitting unpainted with fresh paint Pics Cruizin' Topless on December 26th Engine Bay Pics 719 miles on the turbo'ed NA 'VerTT and counting Versus TransAm Versus Audi S4 Biturbo Versus Cadillac XLR NA's are for Sissies Sudden Loss of Boost is Heartstopping First Driving Impression Preliminary Dyno Results Acknowledgments
