Got the car out of the body shop

More pics to come! The car was originally SSM.. someone key'd the shit out of it plus there were a few dents in the hood so I decided it was time for a change.

Looks nice, but I would have kept SSM

Do you have pics of the before? Like all the keying on it?

Nice.

If I were to ever paint the whole car, I'd have done a custom color...

so you painted the car another OEM color? what the hell is the point in changing the color at all, SSM is just as nice as AM, maybe even nicer IMO.

Payed 2000 at the end. The car had been key'd on all 4 doors, the hood had a dent in it from someone punchin it, and my neighbor clipped my quarter panel/trunk with his Expedition while backing into the drive way. I wasn't going to go ahead and paint almost the full car and leave out a quarter panel and 2 fenders.. so I decided to paint the whole thing. I have never really liked silver and AM is really one of my favorite colors for a car so I decided fuck it, i'll just pay the little bit extra and just switch it to AM. It was either going to be AMG Black or AM. I've learned my lesson about having your daily driver black in NYC.

The name of the shop is called Rudy's Body Shop. They're on 101st ave and 86th st in Ozone Park. Good shop for a great price no doubt about it. If you got more money to spend I'd have to definatley reccomend you go to Bams Auto Body on Liberty and 87th. They're more expensive but their work is *Flawless*. I just didn't have the money to go there lol. But Rudy's definatley did a great job on the car.
