haha no way man lol
Ok guys I am getting a lot of pms people asking me to do body work and paint. I would love to do the work but I currently dont have a shop or the "LEGAL" place to do it so I cant sorry.
Paint came out great I am new to Californias water based paints. Als montego blue is the hardest paint to match especially if its factory. What I am doing is painting the new body parts then when I settle in a bigger place I will do the whole car.
more pics coming soon!!!!

It is installed!!!
I will wait a couple days till i wetsand the bumper and buff it. I have a bit of orange peel but nothing to worry about. Also the color is almost identical but I should of used a darker primer to match it 100% . Since I am painting the whole car at once it will do for now.
Thanks for the help and support in this phase-
