I know the coupe and sedan mirror units aren't interchangeable. But are the mirror(glass part)?

sanded, primed, and painted the lip yesterday. found some NHBP paint from Duplicolor at auto zone. its like $6.99 for a 8oz(or 6oz i think) can. i plan on buying a couple more so i can redo the bumpers. front has a lot of rock chips and rear looks like it was hit and the paint chipped off.

anyways. heres the lip.
primed:

painted:

clear coated:

i plan to go back over it. have a few spots where the clear coat dripped on the lip and started to run. gonna wet sand then polish it. after i let it dry i twisted the lip and no paint flaked or anything. so i think i got something thats a little durable.

I wouldn't recommend doing the whole bumper in the spray can, it looks pretty bad C

Make sure to do those rims proper as well, so they don't end up looking so beaten up.

I'm glad to see suspension is next on your list.

What price are you looking at for the Megan's?

Just wondering if looking in to a set of new/used F2's Type 1's might be a better/more reliable investment for you.
