Paint looks awsome nice ride

 

Thanks, its been a long time coming getting the outside of the car looking nice. I still wanna get the windows tinted dark. But now i gotta get to work on the inside!

 

How much did you pay to get it all painted? It looks good! I like it.

 

That almost hurts to talk about. I paid 1200 body work and etching primer.
Then saved money for a little while and got the base/clear on special for 700 normaly 1000.
The only reason the body work was so bad is because there was extensive work that needed to be done on the roof of my car where it had large dents in it. I would say thats where they spent 70% of the body work time.

 

Looks and sounds sweet where's the rocker emblems?

 

havent decided on which ones i want yet. Ive seen chrome emblems on a RS around here and they look SWEET, i just havent seen them online anywhere! Im looking for a nice set of Chrome or normal silver Z28 if anybody knows where to find them ( ive found the silver ones, just holding out for chrome)

 

Looks sweet man! I like it alot. I was just thinking that I haven't really seen too many silver thirdgens around. I like the wheel combo with it too, looks great. Congrats on finally gettin it done!

 

Car looks real sweet man. I have been on the fence about Maaco for a while. I plan on doing all the prep work myself and maybe saving a few bucks. but man, that body cost really kills you. I guess i should find a place to get out these two big dents on my driver side before i take it over, or try to take them out myself.

 

If there not on a body line you may be able to pull off the door panel and pop them out from the inside.

 

Car looks good man, sounds good too!

 

great colour choice.. looks great, especially since they match the rims!

 

They did a great job and the car looks beautiful! Love the sound too. Is that a gear drive I hear with your cam? If so, may I ask what type?

 

That's exactly how i wanted to paint my car I have being looking all over for i could see a thirdgen in that color now that i saw yours i am gonna tell my uncle what color i want now thats a sick as car. You got any videos of it running.

 

It is a gear drive on the car. The cam is an edelbrock 7102, im not quite sure what the gear drive is but if your thinking about getting one you should get the pet jackson.

The color is classic silver metallic, its a new toyota color lol. I took a video of her running today, well my brother did. Its a just a video phone but still kinda cool. The truck were running up on is going about 45 already. This run is from a roll to about 70. just stomp first and run through 2nd.

You don't mind if i take your picture and photoshop it with a ss hood because I want somebody to photoshop how my car would look

 

please do, but post it back on here so i can see what it looks like!

 

Yea i will i think it would look even more aggressive

 

here is a pic man i think it looks even better i already made my mind on my paint just like this

 

heres another one my friend did for me thats how mine is

 

i think that first one looks nice. Does that hood give you any extra clearance under the hood?

 

Yea mine is the second one it gave me about 2in more i am not sure of the first one

 

That looks awesome what did you pay for such a paint job?

 

It was a couple yrs back but i stripped it down to metal... they primed it and base clear for 1200 or so... looking back now i love the color but the paint never hardened... meaning if i scratch the paint it peals instead of scratching like something didnt go right.

 

Looks great !!

 

I thought Maaco was $299... jk It looks sweet. I have a silver Corvette and I love silver. Nice job!

 

That sucks about the scratching, must just make you more careful around it. But i found your post from google, im running the same cam as you, How do you like it?
