Its fixed!!! Pics inside

Well, some of you may remember back in Jan. I was in an accident and posted the damage here. Then I was wondering if it would have been worth while to repair my Maro or look for a new one. I deciede, after many of you TGOers encouraged me, to fix it. Well, here it is, only been 6 months!!! Hope you like. BTW, its overcast today so the paint doesn't really shine, but you get the idea. And as many of you will notice, its not completely done yet. When she's 100% I'll post some interior pics as well...

AaronIroc,
Hey, I remember those pics I just looked at the car everyday for months while I saved up enough for the repairs! Great inspiration for saving though...

I'll try to get a good pic of the color difference. I changed the color from the original "flame red" to this dark maroon color. I never loved the other color, but I love this new one!!!

looks sharp! congrats. But IMO, you should have put on an 85+ front bumper cover.

He has one. He just doesnt have the parking lights, grill, front gfx, and foglights on. At first I though that was a berlinetta bumper too. Thats a 92 Z right?

Howda guess!!!

I am waiting on the front air dam/ground effect/skirt thing to come. It had to be special ordered since I couldn't find any good used ones. I found lots of messed up ones!! I also need to get a pair of the turn signal lights. One was damaged by the collision and the other was already cracked. As for the "grill", the stock one is so nasty, I refuse to reinstall it. I want a billet one, but for now it will just stay open.

And another thing, that bumper cover is actually the same one. The body shop was able to fix it. I didn't think that was possible...

Thanks for the kind words everyone!!
