I've honestly never given any thought to painted fog covers, and come to think of it, every time I've seen them on a car they looked great. That would leave me some more money in my pocket for Euro headlights... muahaha

And "FTW" will probably become my new fav internet slang. LOL I love it!

Wow, I've always loved your car and now it looks even better. As for the fog delete covers, I think they look great on the E36 M bumper, but on the regular bumper they just look cheap.

Ive got fog light deletes, they are painted to match my car
and look pretty snazzy. I remove the driver side one though,
cause my CAI sits RIGHT there and i get the BEST airflow
that way.
By the way, FTW = F*** the world

How much did it cost to get the rear hatch painted?

Thanks!! I was never really happy with the old bumper either, but i paid for it, so I made myself leave it on for a couple of years to at least get some use out of it. I like the look of the regular side skirts more than the ‘twisty’s’ believe it or not.

Solid......Not vented, not cross-drilled, just a solid piece of metal.

Mine have been complete crap! They have leaked, I had some melting issues with the inner reflector and some other problems. I bought them over 4 years ago, so Djauto's manufacturing standards may have improved, but I don’t know if I would give them a second chance. I would always suggest going with a set of ZKWs if you can come up with the funds.

I bought them from some online ricer shop called Autodynamic.com

Here's the link to the lights:

They are manufactured by Depo.

If you promise to keep the 'love stains' down to a minimum I'll even let you take it for a spin! And yes, black is definitely FTW!!! Maintaining it is FTL though.....

It was an insurance claim; my car was keyed along the entire driver side of the car. But I would guess around $350-$400 Canadian ($315-$360 USD) or so. It varies a lot on what shop you choose though. Plus things tend to be cheaper in the U.S. than in B.C. Canada. We pay out the ass here on taxes.


Again, thanks for all the comments guys!
