Body work costs, questions for this summer.
Hey guys.
I've replaced almost every major wear item on my car over the course of about a year and a half (I'm ******* crazy, I swear). The only thing now that is left wrong with my car is the body. I have minor rust bubbles on the sunroof, a little speck right above the headlights, and some on the driver side rear wheel.
This summer I was planning on cleaning all that up and repainting those areas. Then I got to thinking... My rear bumper and front bumper are kind of ghetto, and I hate the black plastic bumper all the way around my car. Which leads to my question for you guys.
I think the white with carbon fiber hood and black wheels looks BAD!! (as in good) That's the look I'm going for. (Does anyone have any pictures of CRX's like that so I can show my girlfriend...? She'll hate it no doubt.)
What is involved with preparing my car for a body kit and paint job? I know I have to sand down the rust, but in order to get the best quality/cheapest price... what do I have to do? Sand and prime the whole car?
I want championship white... I think that color is so sweet (It would be funny to get some Type R Stickers too for a mini-integra type r
) Do special colors like those cost more money?
How is a body kit attached to your car? Is it screwed on, glued on, taped on? How much does it cost for a body shop to do it?
I know a bunch of you have all gone through this stuff before, so any insight would be very helpful. I'l trying to figure out how much money I need to save up for this summer's body project.
Thanks!!
