Beautiful. I'm glad you kept the stock look with the moldings. My Ocean Blue 85GS desperately needs a good paint job too...but we'll have to wait for some $$$ first.

Looks like the cops must've found the woman that dinged the car, huh?
You were pretty mad then, but seem happy now. Did you have to pay for anything?

$75 for the fender, $120 for new side emblems and pics windshield clips, etc, an incredible $75 for the spoiler and a steal for the tires and rims at $750. So for about a grand it was an amazing transformation.

Looking good! That's a rare case of an FB spoiler that doesn't spoil the car's lines. Who did your paint, btw?

Barlow Autobody. A buddy of mine sees a lot of their work and said this has to be the best he has seen from them.

Beyond.ca found her. And she wouldn't be hard to miss, just look for the SRT8 Charger in forest lawn that needs a new passenger side door. She would have been totally busted had the cops found her.

What do you guys think about going with the scoop?? My scoop hood will be ready soon. The big factor for me is function, it does make a great CAI for the carb.
