if someone wants to repaint, who wouldnt want to paint the whole car? lol

i always assume if you're painting, you're dropping 4-5g's for a full paint, not just painting the exterior and leaving the door jams and engine bay the old color thats ghetto style

yeah if i were to paint the engine bay as a part of the repaint, i'd definitely rip the motor out for the engine bay, just doesn't complete the look for it.

they painted my engine bay and everything.

Paint job is a sick mod... but you'll kick yourself everytime you get

the smallest scratch... I bottomed out pulling into my parking spot

and went nuts and used touch up paint on the underside of my lip.

thats how anal I am
