Fresh Paint - Just got it back today!

Done by Concord Auto Body and Paint in Concord, CA. They had it for about 10 days and the job cost me $3700. They did the jambs, black buckets, repaired several dings throughout the body, did a little glass work on the chin spoiler, and overall just did a very good job and a very reasonable price.

I have the stripes in the garage, but now I'm not even so sure I want them! Maybe I do though. What do you guys think?

Re: Fresh Paint - Just got it back today!

Depends on what stripe package you got... I personally like the heritage stripes alot. I would add the Iroc Fog Lights... And call it good. I mean, it really does look good as it sits right now. I think stripes are up to you.

Re: Fresh Paint - Just got it back today!

Stripes all the way dude. As long as they're close/the same to the style/size of the factory heritage stripes they're only going to make your car look beyond amazing.

Re: Fresh Paint - Just got it back today!

Looks like a really first rate job!!!!! I would say you more then got your $3700 worth!!! Always good to here of a shop that still believes in quality work at a fair price!!!! So many businesses now seem to have a "take the money and run" attitude!!!!!!

Super looking car!!!! Very nicely spec'd out on the build!!! Congrats.
