thought you guys might like to see the paint process. (keep in mind these are all iphone pics with poor lighting, but i thought it was cool seeing the car taken apart and put back together)...will try and get some HQ pics in direct sunlight here soon. honestly, there have been no good days...been very gloomy around here recently.

also this weekend i'll be installing a shock and tilt sensor, and a new sunroof. might even take apart my headlights if i have the time. i really want to figure out this halo (angel eye) issue.

thanks, anil. i'll get some more pics soon...just need to find the time and a sunny day.
will do, mr. bell.
hey same to you mike, it's been a long time.
replaced my sunroof over the weekend and installed the shock and tilt sensor. didn't really get a chance to test out the sensors as it was getting late...but everything is wired up. i'll go back in and adjust the sensitivity and make sure its mounted in a good spot etc.

Aaron, what did you end up doing about the rear windshield weather strip?

you can't really see the damage when the trunk is closed so i'm not really worried about it. at some point i'll straighten everything out with some new stripping...but it doesn't leak or anything so no biggie. merely a flesh wound.

Hey...for all the damage you sustained, a non visible weatherstripping is the least of your worries. At the end of the day, you made out like a bandit. You should be thanking those vultures! or at the very least put some roadkill on someone ELSE's Car for them to peck at this time...

I don't. I hope it shatters into a million pieces since you have yet to post more pictures.
I hope it goes well. I look forward to seeing the car in person next month!
