Hey guys, I finally fixed the hood of my car and got the front repainted. My friend and I had a mini photoshoot of our cars. Its been only a week and I already have 3 small rock chips. Anyways here are the pics:

By the way my car is dark emerald green. It looks black for some reason. Also, I bent one of my rims. Sucks. Anyone know of a good rim repair shop in MD?

Aman

might I suggest that, when buying rims, buy 4.

Dreamdtt2000

Read the last post. I bent a rim and need to get it repaired.

Aman

oops. sorry about that.

Looks good, I like how agressive the eyelids and painted grill made the front look.

I recently bent one of my rims as well. I'm taking mine to Ye Ole repair shop in MD. Pm me if you want more details

David, I agree with Chris. I, along with several other local members, have had wheels reparied here. It is a bit of a drive but they do pretty good work.

Ye OLE Wheel & Welding Shop

6363 Washington Blvd
Elkridge, MD 21075
(410) 796-8400

BTW, the TL is looking great

Sweet, thanks Jp and death for the info. Glad to still see you here Jp.

I bought my rims from wheelmax. I forgot what the model is called but the brand is Exel. It's the knock offs of the C2 Racing harts I think.

Just a follow up on my bent rim that I dropped off today. Fixing the bend and getting the lip re-polished is going to run $195. The estimated turn around time is 2-3 weeks per the shop. I figured I would post this info both for Dreamdtt2000 and for any other members who are local and are wondering their prices and turn around times.

Those are some great pics, JP & Dreamdtt2000 are you guys planning on hitting the MD meet coming up?

holy crap man! our grills are identical haha we even have the same car...

Dreamdtt2000

Wow, 195 seems alot. How bad did you bend the rim? I am going to the May 4 college park meet. Are you guys going? Also, my friend got his rim repaired at a place in waldorf md called Nationwide dent repair. He doesn't remember for how much though. I am going to check out both places. The address to that place is:

2586 Old Washington Road
Waldorf, md 20601

1-800-734-3368

Dreamdtt2000

Wow, just saw your icon. You were not kidding, we do have the same grille.

death

I think the breakdown was something along these lines:
$95 - fix bent lip (outer)
$75 - re-polish lip
$25 - unmount/mount tire + balance

sorry for the thread high jack...

Dreamdtt2000

Mine is alittle less bent than yours but im pretty sure it will cost the same. Your car looks nice by the way. I have to get it fixed asap because my other two stock rims has bald tires. I may have to drive my car like this to the college park meet.
