Dude...the cost was insane, but I KNOW that's what you have to spend to get a real paintjob.

Today, I saw a car that was repainted decently, I thought to myself...I'd never repaint a car, it never looks the same. This car changed my mind.

You made me miss my BOM 05...she was a beaut!

thanks! yeah it was a pain repairing/replacing not only what he broke but what he oversprayed on (thank god for claybars btw. how in the world do you spray someone's interior and calipers??). Driving this thing is nerve wracking hahah

Man that is a beautiful car. I'm just curious on how you did your pillars with the 3m.

thanks! The pillars are held on with one screw and one clip, if I remember correctly. They pop right off, then you can wrap them and put them back on.

thx guys! not gonna slam,it's pretty low already. Especially when I'm in it with a passenger, it sinks another few mms and then the suspension is constantly compressing as I'm driving, it looks plenty low! as it is now, I can drive very comfortably without worrying about rubbing at all!

I would have just sold it as is for 4k, took the 9k, had 13k and bought a perfect one owner type-s,, ,, but that's a lot of work/time involved.

Looks Very nice though, Love the color
