ok, lol... i took it as like, 'your car's molding is painted, it sucks get rid of it'. i suppose i'm a bit defensive for the same reason, knowing it came out of maaco.

"he molding i hear you on... i was wondering how i was supposed to get it off without fucking up the paint around it. i guess i am semi-disappointed about that, but not enough to launch into a fit or rage about and make them repaint it."
guess i took that to mean "yeah, i think it sucks that my molding looks like that but i couldn't figure out how to get it off w/out fucking up the paint so they could properly paint the car.
door handles = black. errrr...should = black. not hatin...just sayin. and as far as bulb color, go w/ 6k. it doens't have so much annoying honda blue in it. 4k bulbs are nearly perfectly white and tint free...holler at me if u need some help. and don't buy HID from someone for 100 shipped...i can get them for abt 50, 55 shipped w/ a lifetime on them.
you guys have actually convinced me to give them a ring and see if something can be done. it looks good with the molding color-matched, but i now don't have the option of removing them at a later point if i wanted to without having the whole damn car repainted. i'm not expecting much, but i figure it's worth a try.

there is no way i'd have different color door handles. i don't think i've ever even seen any m3s like that...

and i already bought all the parts for the lighting, just need to put it on the car. i'll let you know if the bulbs annoy me and see if you can find me some new bulbs.
