How is your visibility compared to before?
Yeah, i knew something was wrong after i painted the flat black, that's why I decided to paint it gloss black as it looks a lot better. I drove it last night, nothing changed as far as visibility.

Nice! This'll be another one I'll do after I get my brakes. Just waiting it out until the sensor goes off, so I can just do an upgrade.

Great work. The gloss really did make a lot of difference. Has anyone else done any colored BiX besides you and C24owner?

Yep, sure is!




Get someone to photoshop your grill black, I think that combo will make the backout BiX look hot on your silver sedan.
