ill comment anyways even tho im talking to you right now, cuz i know ill hear it if i dont
But i cant wait to see it when its 100% finished!!!!!
Good girl, do as your told. lol
I'll have to go down to Manch and show you in person!
paint looks great. how come they're painting your stock bumpers if you're getting a kit? is it just so your car is all one color until your kit arrives?
^^ might be, probly easier for them to paint bumpers then tape it off and not.. Not much cost difference probly.. but ya i dont' understand why a whole new paint job. i would wait till i got the kit. fitted it then sprayed it
but either way awesome.
That way the paint matches for the winter, and the bumpers were all ding'ed up from plowing through snow banks at the end of my driveway during the winters. Thx for the comments guys.
those fenders baby jesus cry
Looks nice and white
i know.. bad fender choice.. espically on a sedan
but paint looks sweet
im just gonna point a couple things i dont like out first lol....he did a sloppy job, why leave the headlights corner lights an mirrors on when painting? shoulda taken them all off, i hate when cars get paint jobs an they leave things that should be taken off, on the car...especially easy stuff like that, i understand not takin out the windshield an stuff, but mirrors an lights, cmon take the 10 minutes an do the job right! other then that, it looks ok, i just hope you make it all line up properly (the fenders an such)
loose the fenders man.. they fit like crap.... glad to see a respray, how come they didnt take the lights out?

dumped an boosted at 8psi.. daily driven.
the lights are masked all the way around, not just the faces of them. We didn't take them out because we realigned them so they aren't cock-eyed anymore.
The fenders .... Meh I agree totally guys. I'll mess with the hood stops to raise the hood a bit. It will look way better with the kit on. Thx for the feedback guys.

This is coming from a guy who was rocking a spraypainted body kit..Spend the money and do it right. Not halfassed like you did.
Well I can totally agree with taking out the head lights, corner lights, etc. But I would say this isn't a total half ass-ed job. $2000 is pretty hard to half-ass. I am going to work with the hood to see about getting that monster grab brought back down to a suitable level. But damn, I didn't catch this much flak with my car was four different shades of white.
I hope you guys sing a different tune when I get it under the sun, and some decent scenary shots. I am super excited about getting the full kit painted and installed, maybe that will pull some of the hatred off of the fenders.
So, don't get me wrong, I'm not attacking anybody, or defending myself. I am, though, taking DrPaul84's advice/critisism with careful note for down the road when another project like this comes along.

i dont care how well you masked off the headlights... the point isnt to avoid getting paint on the headlights. the point is parts of your car arent getting paint. take out those headlights and turn signals and you're going to find spots that didnt get paint. thats called "half ass"... and if you paid $2000 for that you got ripped. besides, most good painters i know will not only take the headlights and corners off, but will take the bumpers off completly and spray them seperatly to ensure that every square inch gets an even coat of paint.

umm the kit an everything else that was primered was primered for a reason, as you can see....umm yea not about money or anything else, it was about not being finished, and yea i never finished but thats good i didnt paint it cause that would have been money wasted, but if i where to have it painted it would have to be done right, trunk off, mirrors, hood , ect ect thats just my thoughts, i wasnt bashin him cause im sure it will look alright once done but if he ever has to take any parts off or anything he's gonna have an issue with the paint lines and stuff....just givin POSITIVE critism, at least the owner of the car can take it for what its worth...
