    Delaware= No Multi Colored........Anymore lol

    Well it was about time I got this thing painted. I never knew how much paint & bodywork costed, I got quoted 3800-4500K to get the whole car painted 2 tone exactly want i wanted. Butttt fter thinking about it my paint wasn't in bad condition, plus im going to pick up a new car soon so this wont get as much as attention as she does now. So i decided to get the parts i really need to get her looking good & give up my original plans.

    Refinish & Paint
    -JDM New Style Front End
    -JDM Liberal Grill
    -JDM VR-4 Rear Bumper
    -JDM New Style Rear Splats
    -JDM New Style Skirts
    -JDM Fender Flares
    -JDM Mirrors
    -Quarter Panel Dent Removed & Paint

    They also removed & installed everything back for me. My rear bumper had ALOT of scathes, and my side skirts were VERY bad so much curb rash in them. I paid $1450 Out the door, lifetime warranty on paint & labor. I went to 3 shops and got quote $1400(maaco) $1800 (winner auto) $2K (Auto Body Center) and those prices are with ME uninstalling and Reinstalling my self & WITHOUT side skirt's since i didn't have them on me. So i got a great deal, they also bolted down my grill, since i had no clue, and cleaned the gaps in the rear bumper. Im very happy with how she is now, Pics with side skirts & flares will come soon.

    PS: what kind of screws did you guys use to install the sideskirts?

    that thing looks sweet man!!! I want to see some sideview shots.

    only thing that should be changed is the "can" style muffler you got on there.

    You should tell us more about that shop. I'd drive down there to get work done. Far drive, but good work.

    Shit, you could probably pull off the oval Magnaflow with an oval tip.

    actually now that I think about it, that would look awesome.

    Photoshop, get a tri pod take the shot in the same spot with hood close & one with the hood open. Then blend the images together with the clone tool.

    Looks amazing Ron, one question, could you get some pics on how they bolted the grill down, I'm trying to figure out a more reliable way to mount mine than the way it is now

    looks 100x better bro! a finishing touch would be to remove bumper and grill and paint everthing visible through the grills, flat black (your FMIC will "float" and really stand out). i foregot to ask the shop to do it when i first got my car done so i just did it my self... here's a pic of what i painted black:

    Yeah good idea, ill pick up some paint and tackle that after the sides & flares are finished. Thanks alot for the pointer!

    no prob bro, your car is looking VERY good! btw, i just used flat black engine paint and sprayed a thin coat. you don't need much back there since it's never really exposed but the black really will set off the front end and the grills.
