Dropped the FD off for new paint..
I dropped the car off yesterday for new paint...
Now the wait begins...
He says a month...and if it only takes that long I'll be happy.
Here's the before pic.

He quoted me $1800 plus supplies which will be about $500. Not the cheapest or fastest I could find but the work this guy does is amazing. He does classic show cars and they always win the shows. My car was abused before I got it and there are alot of things that need attention. The nose, hood, side skirts, rear bumber all need alot of attention.
I am excited to see it done - I know I will be happy with his work!

manatecu,
I like your car dude. nice combo of things. I am not really a fan of east bear but it goes really well with your ride.

$1800! that's cheap! everywhere I went for 3k plus. Some dude quoted me $1800 and his work looked like ****...

Yes those are east bears sorta. I now consider them my own creation. I am spoiled riding in my land rover with HID lights. I was starting to think my H9 bulbs were sucking. I recently rode in a 7 with stock lights and OMG mazda screwed us badly in the lighting department. Shawn and I have both upgraded to 90mm Hella's.
