The CYM is PAINTED!
Of all the parts that you removed, how much are you re-using? Meaning, plastic fasteners, weather strip, nuts, bolts, washers, liners, etc. If I take my car to your guy to do the bodywork and paint, do I need to remove everything like you did? Looking REAL nice! Take more pics of you assembling it back together. I like those pics more since I'm thinking of doing that myself when I get mine repainted.

On the CYM I didn't reuse hardly any of the plastic, trim or fasteners from the exterior of the car. Nearly everything had yellow overspray on it from previous repaints so I used trim, fasteners, etc from a wrecked R1 I have.
I bought all new fender liners, R1 brake ducts, belly pan, R1 lip, etc.
Your car won't need this level of teardown for a nice paintjob. Yours would look something more like the red one they did for me. The more you teardown the cheaper it is. Teardown = time = $$.
