New pics after Paint job and getting center caps

Here are some updated pics of my car. I plan on getting some Racing Beat Springs and new shocks. After that I plan on going streetport or turbo. It is a 89 GXL if you are wondering.

Yeah I told them to just leave the rear dings. Maybe should have had them all done now that I look back on it. My main concern was the door dings and a dent I had on the passenger side rocker panel. It was done by Maaco for $506. That included the $150 for the body work. When I finish college I plan on getting it done the right way but this can hold me over for atleast a couple years.

Looks damn good! My fiance had his FC painted by Maaco, and they did a great job. Can't beat their affordability, that's for sure.

Thanks for all the replies guys . sorry about the low quality pics though guess that is what you get from a disposable camera.

Looks sweet! Like stickgoat said, I had my car also painted by Maaco. I did for the same reasons as you. It needed it and I'm in college. But it turned out great.

I'm so glad you posted those pics! I'm getting Vert wheels off another member and haden't seen many good pics of non verts with them on.

Your car looks great!

What size tires do you have?

Was it black before? I've got a white FC and I really like the way they look black, so I'm looking for a solution. Does anyone think I can get a white car painted black for $500 or so from maaco?

don't quote me on this but I believe a color change was $50 or $100. It shouldn't be much of a problem because you are going from light to dark this might be different if you were going the dark to light.

Also door jambs were like another 50 each.
