Title: new paint...
Post by: jakeb on September 03, 2006, 09:25:14 AM
I got my car back from being repainted.  Here are a couple quick camara phone pics of it.  I will have real camara ones soon....already taken, just not off the camara yet.  It was a full sand and respray.  Fixed a few little dings and one surface rust spot.  Car also got the correct iS lip spoiler and also painted the i spoiler for the winter months.  really really happy with how it turned out...its nice to have friends that paint for a living.

yes the next step is to lower it.  It probally won't happen until the spring tho.  Planning h&r and bilsteins

I have two cars I put money into....the other is a 1970 2002...with tons of mods.  and still finishing those mods up.

Nice choice on suspension.  I am running H&R and Bilstein Sports and it's a fantastic compromise for around town and mountain roads!  I'm sure you'll love it.

Paint looks stunning as well!  Love how shiny and fresh it looks!
