Re: del Sol Owner's Club Thread v 2.0!
I remember the last time someone said that to me.
The kid had a 90's VW Jetta. (140BHP on this particular one... that's all I remember because I looked it up when I got home... I don't remember the trim level or whatever).
HIM: "yea I got headers (LOL, yea right, more than one, buddy), intake manifold, exhaust".
ME: I asked him to let me see
HIM: "Naw man, you don't let people see what's under your hood."
ME: "Yea, you don't lie and then prove that you're lying".

Some guy I sold wheels to like TWO months ago just PM'ed me bitching that one doesn't hold air.
That's funny. I bought them with tires on them, every single one held air.

Damn.
A local body shop quoted me "no more than $1000" for a re-spray (base & clear). They're pretty good though (they painted part of my sister's car because of a wreck and you can't even tell that it's not factory paint) and have been in business 30 years so I can expect a high quality job from them with no overspray.
Rip off or deal?

I got no hook up, and I had some fairly decent gouges in the paint and clear cloat, along with some overspray and spray paint. **** they painted the hood included in the full price. everyone else wanted an extra 150$.
I know another shop gave me a quote of 780$, but they wanted 280$ in prep cost to remove all the silver paint it had on it before I removed it myself.
