Next upgrade should be removing those lights! Simply removing them is an upgrade, even if you don't replace them! Seriously, those things are hideous... But, good looking paint job.

Default Re: (Racebred H)

well i chose the cheapest paint job..... at first i was just going to paint the drivers door since it got replaced b/c it got into a highway drive-by shooting up at mass.
i got a estimate for 100 to paint the door only, and he suggested i pay an extra 200 to paint the entire car

i decided to paint the entire car because i just bought the spoiler and the paint was kinda fading off it and he wouldve probably charged an extra 50 or 100 to paint that too, so again, i went for the cheap paint job

which still came out good
if i had the $$, then obviously i wouldve invested in a show-car finish paint and body repair

but not everyone has that kinda $$ to spend nowadays, considering gas prices are on the rise

Really no point in having a show car paint job in cars up in the northeast.. we get crazy snowstorms, then they throw salt the size of marbles on the ground that ding up ur paint job anyhow... and this kid is from the bronx.. you wont be able to hang up here with the ill crazy drivers, i'm sure that's where he got his dings from.. manhattan parking = pwnz U

Looks pretty darn nice for $300!! I got a quote of $700 just to paint my hood. But it's an expensive shop. So, I shopped around and got a quote of $350. They have to blend the hood with the fenders. Never realized it would cost that much to paint a hood. But that's where they use most of the paint.

Nevertheless, your car looks great for a $300 job!!
