Just got my baby back from the paint shop yesterday after a 10-day stay...
This cost me 1300 bucks - car was painted from the doors back plus the front bumper and valance. Excellent quality, I am very happy with the direction this car is going. In 2 weeks I get my custom dual exhause with stainless Camaro tips that should accent my rear valance perfectly.
Please excuse the water spots - this thing was washed and waxed yesterday but a 5-minute rain took care of that!

I know a lot of you guys do not like graphics, but I like a few well-placed things here and there. I actually use all of these products except the MagnaFlows but they are coming on the 29th! And no, I am not sponsored by anyone, but like to give credit where credit is due. Maybe someday...I have every Plasmaglow product there is and they owe me!
I plan to add a CF version of the silver elongated bowtie that came with the 03s. Just waiting to get one cut (sold the other one to the guy who bought my CF RK bexel and Altezzas) It will cover the ugly trunk hole. I have a thread on here somewhere with pics of that part...
No more FM antenna...I still get a few local rock stations and plan to install my hidden one from Autoloc when I finish putting my grill mesh back and a few other things...
I threw this idea in at the last minute (after searching forever on the net for the Intel font!) I have a full CF accessorized interior and engine bay and thought this would be funny/cool.
I have a post going up in the Interior section to show some of my CF engine bay stuff, in a few minutes.
Thanks for looking - please let me know what you guys think. I am not in the "Big Leagues" yet of the J community, but a few more grand and I feel like I'm getting there.

PS -Decepticav is the car's old name back when I had Transformers style graphics. I'm getting new tags soon.

Was that intended as an insult or are you serious?
That's probably it for the graphics. I see no need to stick anything else on there.
Thanks,
Steve

tweeter.. yuck. overpriced fools
not bad, looks pretty good. need to step up the rims though
You mean go to bigger rims?
I wanted to go up at least to 16s but it was like 500 more...
I'm workin' on it - just need more cash. This CF shortage has crushed many of this year's dreams...

I had a great experience with Tweeter. The yacrry all of the brands that I like, and my system has a great sound with a great warranty.
I prefer to pay a little more to get things done the way I want, with a full corporation backing the stuff I buy. The guy who works there really knows his stuff and gives me a break sometimes.
Sorry you don't like them, but the purpose of this post really was not my decals, but to get feedback on my shavings and tails.
Thanks!

Good stuff man! Tails look pretty sleek

I am not a fan of the painted door handles and mirrors. At all.
Another forumer put it best when he said that the whole black area looks good together, windows - mirrors - b-pillar.
I kinda like my black door handles...I'll have to photoshop that and see. I can always do it later when I get my new hood painted or something.
Thanks for the feedback, though!

Hypsy - I have NO CF. The shortage is bad and I just can't give anything away. I sold Jason at A Plus Performance all of my decals and decal files a while back. He would probably sponsor you. Email him and ask him - tell him that I will put in a good word for you. As for the magnetic inserts, I promise I'll sponsor you and give you a set when I get into full production. I will be running a GP for those very soon.

Wait wait... did you say you just got it back YESTERDAY and WAXED it?? I hope you mean you just waxed the part that was NOT just painted...
You're supposed to wait 1 - 1 1/2 month before waxing a car that was just repainted...
If you didn't wax the part that was just painted... sorry bout that lol.
thats cool steve. im just harassing you like always.
car looks better and better all the time.

Fallen Angel - No I did not wax anything that was painted, but you can bet i'll be marking my calendar! When I said washed and waxed I just meant washed and polished to a shine...I hate to wash it and not wax, though - feels half-assed.
Thanks for the comments, Hypsy - let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Hypsy - do you have that NOLOGY power core? Any noticeable power gain? I've been thinking about getting that (saw it in your banner).

whew... just wanted to make sure lol. I've heard of paint places not telling people NOT to wax their car just after paint.... then they wax it... then the clear gets cloudy and the paint never fully sets.
Anyways looks good!
Thanks J2E, LK, FA!
I have no idea what he did to shave the locks. I drove the car in with the door panels removed (I don't like anyone else to mess with my interior) and told him not to even tell me what he had to do to cut my baby. I do know that they had to order some clips from the dealer for some reason. I can supply you with his # if you ever have questions, though. I know that they have to be careful when welding the plug piece in or they can warp your doors...
Yeah, I've had my decals on for awhile...I was debating for a long time whether or not to take them off, seeing as how they are an advertisement to break into my car. But when I removed them to get the car painted, I instantly hated it - looked naked to me. You should have seen it before back when I first got it and put my Decepticon graphics on it in reflective vinyl. I got really carried away and ended up hating it and stripping it. I'll post a pic some day if you guys promise not to abuse me too much
. I was new to the modding hobby and had no idea what I was doing or what looked good. I keep one photo in my garage to remind me how not to be tacky.
