well i figured I'd give an update!!!!!!!

ok well i got my car painted and installed a 4th gen manual console and seats. the car was a stock v6 t5, now it has a 350 6speed(sig) so yea.... here it is at the begining.

the paint had quite a few defects fading, damage to the fenders dents so on. but this pic shows its best state lol.

After paint


this shows the color in the shade/overcast gets really dark


And here it is in the bright sun


All and all im very very pleased with the work the painter did i couldnt be happier and i got a good deal

Wow, look awesome

I am slowly saving for my new paint, I think I will start taking sandwiches for lunch at work instead of eating out,. That should give me $30-$40 more a week, now looking at a May date.

I hope my paint looks as good as yours!

Very nice!

I like the addition of the hood and the removal of the side moldings.

so thats what my car would look like if it was nice... lol looks great, do you drive it everyday?? if so i hope you park far away from any cars with doors, some people have no consideration and you will get a few door dings that you might not have if you had left the guards on... although i cant blame you for taking them off, they look great...
