Tomorrow is the big day ;o)

The car's been in the hands of my talented body/paint guys for about 4 months, and I'm picking her up tomorrow. Dropped her off for a full color change (CYM to TGM) inside, underneath and out, custom sheetmetal fender work with costum well liners to match perfectly offset for my widened 99 spec wheels and ZR-1 tire setup. From their description it seems that they have gone above and beyond in achieving the objectives which I outlined for them. I wanted a wide-body setup to suit my to-be properly cambered 315 rears while maintaining the OEM appearance, including the rear lips! Everything was done the right way. The necessary panels were stripped, all glass was removed, and the paint has been polished to show room spec. I can tell from their enthusiasm over the phone that they have really enjoyed the project and I have high expectations which I think will be fulfilled.

Wish me luck! ;o)

I'd like to see a LOT of pictures. Also, what color is TGM? Titanium Gun Metal perhaps? Sounds like your car will be amazing. Congrats!

I was at the body shop ( I get all my work done there and referred Rob to them

and I will be the first to tell you that the custom sheet metal rear fenders look AMAZING and it might as well have come from the factory like that! If you looked at the car from the front you would have no idea that theres 315's in the rear...just plain sexy...hehe
