Hurts me to see your TL in pieces, but the paint job they did looks very detailed. How much did it cost?

Paint job was free...i work at a body shop and im the painter...yea im 21 but been paintin since i was 16. All the work was done by me with a little help from one of my co-workers.. Dont feel bad that its in peices i wanted it this way. Wanted my bumpers to match and the aspec to match also..plus i had the summer to do it.

So far, you have taken apart your car, did all the body work, made a custom Carbon Fiber roof, painted the car, and will put it back together and your worried about the a-spec install! lol, believe me, if you did all of that to your car, the a-spec is going to be the easiest part of this.

Can't wait to see the finished product!

its not really about having the sweetest car....it about knowing ur shit and doing stuff differently....

comparing a 3M CF roof vinyl to a DIY CF roof....i think you do have skills and know how....then u painted your own car (again something very rare) and did a good job with it....

hence i said u THE MAN !!!

I love it when I miss threads like this and then find them later. It takes out the whole suspense aspect. Car looks great and I cannot wait to see it done.

you should autoclave it with plastic film and you wont have to keep coating it with the clear coat... the autoclave would make it more stronger than leaving it under the heat lamp..and you should use the twill carbon it would look alot better
