Default Car Break-In = new paint on the EF

Well it turns out that earlier in the summer while I was at work someone decided to kick in my door with knee and bend the upper part of my driver's side door. So since I had 16 yr old paint on the car, I had to get the driver's side painted. The paint didn't match with the rest of the car, therefore I had the roof, trunk lid, rear bumper and rear pass. quarter panel painted too (The front got painted in a fender bender a few years back, and please don't tell me how dumb I am for not getting a WHOLE paint job because I am on a college budget here).

Here is just some random recent pictures of the car. Any comments are welcome

The pictures were taken by ekay.ian so direct your photography tips to him, I know alot of guys on here at pros with a camera.

Thanks alot, the seats are those NRG ones that they are selling on here, they work really well I am really happy with them. (My HF seats were DEAD so they were a great seat for someone on a budget).

my thoughts exactly...

only thing i would have done was update the bumpers and moldings to 90-91 though...
