Just had the car re painted

Going to galveston tomorrow for a photo shoot, will have more pictures up soon.


And yes I know, I'm missing a passenger mirror. I still have to pick it up when I bring my car back to gotham to get tuned.

How did it go? I've never had my car painted. I could see areas in which it could be difficult to get it right. Was there any overspray around the windshield trim for instance? Or around the sunroof weatherstriping? Did the color on the bumper covers match the rest of the car?

Was a nice sunset and good weather outside so I went for a photo shoot on top of a parking garage in my area. Enjoy =)

what kind of SS's are those. Very tasteful. Nice alternative to 99 spec.

Thanks,

I was thinking 99 but I figued I'd save the money plus I like the way this setup looks. It is a little bit more aggressive but not too much -- plus I love white on black, I'm working on getting some 5% tint on the car so its a balanced contrast everywhere on the car.

I'm very satisfied with this FD, its by far the most solid one I've owned yet. I'm fixing to take it up to Dallas to get it tuned soon since I have about 1,200 miles on the reman now.

Thanks for all the comments =)

Look like FEED side skirts. Real nice. Surprised you kept the stock bumper. Did you paint the whole car? When I last saw it the paint was in decent shape. A good body shop will pull all the moldings and the glass.

Yea, they pulled the moldings and everything. The paint was alright but I wanted it meticulous, there were some areas where the paint was fading and was getting dull, I got the paint job done for 750 dollars so I figued it was worth it, they did all the labor involved with mounting the side skirts + rear diffuser so I guess it was a decent deal.
