You can see a 30 foot section of building and assume that's where they paint? Obviously that's where they do the tail end of things. The two amazing paint shops I know look worse then that OUTSIDE the actual paint rooms and oven. Hell, best painter I know does it in a barn.
I say in for more pics. Looks good. Can't say I would have gone that color though.

Paint was fading and chipping...plus with all the dents and the hood/fenders spider webbing...i had no choice...i took care of the paint but i guess the previous owner did not....the paint on the hood and fenders had to be removed completely because of the damage

If you don't like the Aspec Kit, you might consider a RonJon kit....

Nothing ruins a paint job like cutting corners. If anything not doing the jambs just lowered the value of the car.

IMO it looks a lot more aggressive than stock, and for under $800 (plus paint in your case). But as always, everyone is entitled to their opinion and as long as you like it, kudos! Much love.

The car looks incomplete without the body kit. At least you are happy with the paint.
