SO the FC is finally at an autobody shop getting prepped for paint...
Let the paint settle for ~3 weeks. Then wetsand it. Do not wash the car within the first 3 weeks, unless a bird takes a dump on your paint or you get tree sap on it or purple drank, which will stain white paint. Paint looks decent for $1500, but it's white!

I might just go over it with a microfiber cloth. Well the paint with parts and labor was $2000 all together but now that I see it and how much work was involved, it was so cheap!!! We're talking:-Removing front bumper
-Trimming front support for fitment
-removal of headlights, motors and misc
-removal of door panels, handles, locks and hatch
-removal of all moldings
-painting 2 colors on specific parts
-paint, clear, buff
-installation of kit
Yeah its only white but even for that, it's a great deal!
On the rear bumper? I'll leave it. I still think it'll look weird. I'm not one to have a body kit flush or **** like that. What happens if it breaks? Too much work.
Oh ****. 7 STOCK! Then clean her up a few days before the event. 2 weeks should be enough time for paint to settle. It's not like you're polishing up some 2 hour old wet paint with fingerprints in it krylon style. I'll bring some stickers so we can put them on your new paint.

You know what? I should have my guy reinforce the front bumper so when i see you at SS I can hit you with my car and not worry about damage to it LOL




omg too funny
I think the GP kit is played out but it should look good with the mods I've done to it
