ID Just had the Exterior redone!

New paint and the body all perfected. I am LOVING this color. BTW this is on an overcast day. I will take more pictures when the sun comes out.

Paint looks good. I don't think I've seen that color on a fc before.

Looks really good . A little bit of work on the window trim and headlight trim would make it look really really good

I actually have a wanted add posted on this site trying to locate a nice used Lip. I don't want anything too extreme. I'm looking for something sleek. To compliment my TII side skirts

I totally agree. I am going to redo the window/headlight trim and the wipers.

I'm not in a HUGE hurry to get one. I don't mind waiting for one that is not going to cost me a bunch on shipping charges.

looks awesome, now get off those vert wheels and get some real BBS on there, 17s you can do it =p
Pick up a can of semi gloss black and take those black trims off and spray em.

BTW. Those ARE real BBS. And I do not want the rice look of 17" wheels. I like the stock vert wheels just fine.

when you spray the trim you will want trim black, it will look like the trim was not repainted, just fresh. Semi gloss is not the correct gloss level for that trim. Im sure your body/paint man will suggest the same.

I'd suggest just buying new lower weatherstripping for the door windows. I think they're only about $50 each from Mazda. They make a big difference, and with a nice fresh new paint job, it would be well worth it.

It cost me several thousand dollars. I will never give the name of the color nor will I post exactly how much I paid.

Looks nice. And I agree, especially if you spent thousands on paint, you need some new or restored trim.

I'm glad there are still guys willing to shell out money for a decent paint job on one of our cars.

Much respect to you, sir.
