Here is my 93 MX-3, I had my MP5 bumper customized just a bit (for ground clearance), Z3 fenders from Absath (thank you), custom sideskirts molded to the car from Hector, the rear red side lights removed off the stock rear bumper & hood emblem removed & the hole filled. Painted pictures will be posted later!!!!! So keep an eye out!!! It's gonna be off the chain.....

wow are those really my sideskirts? :O so unique :O and how did you remove the lens of the tail light? i want to do the same

Yup hector those were the sideskirts I got from you. Looking pretty good huh.

As for removing the tail light lens, I had bought these & that lense was cracked. So I tried to remove it & it broke in 2 more spots so i said screw it & took the covers off. Did the old heat them in the oven trick.

As for the headlights they will be polished when he is buffing out the paint on my car. Then they will be replaced with my custom projector headlights in MX-3 headlight housings.

Yeah I do Gregory!!! I'll PM you with some pictures & hints of what I did to the bumper. I think it raised the bumper about an inch, so I shouldn't have any problems hitting anything, but I guess I'll have to wait & find out...

I have not had the chance to drive it yet. He is not finished with it. Hopefully it should be next Sunday.

Thats a WEIRD paint job, however it looks pretty good IMO, nice shine...how much it cost?

Sorry to say this, but it looks as if you couldnt afford to paint the entire car....

Wow that's.... interesting.

What exactly is going on there?

Whatever the paint job is, it's causing blending and glare that is really screwing with the curves and lines of the car, at least in pictures. In certain areas it looks warped, dented or unfinished.

Those nifty sideskirts you did are now totally lost in whatever sort of color mixing is done there.

I think that it looks pretty good. I would say that what most of yall are seeing is due to a poor camera angle with poor lighting.

Thumbs up for originallity..but I personally wouldn't have done a fade. The curves on the car don't really do it justice. I like the color choice. It sure makes the rims looks out of place.

i dont think its a fade, did you do green with a black pearl????

Unfortunately i agree with the rims looking a little out of place, but man i love the paint job. that will have people staring at the car for a long time. nice body kit too.
