nice! how much did it cost you. did you prep it 4 or they did everything

 

your drop seems fine for a daily driver. As for lip...it would look better if it had a lip. Paint job looks good.

 

Im currently running RSR Down springs 2 inch drop, and the paint job cost me 500. me and my dads friend preped the whole thing ill post before pics after dinner

whats more USA about his front end than a jdm 93 one?

 

looks great! , Maaco you say, did you wet sand the car at all after the paint job?

 

may i ask how much u pay for that.. i might go wit that..

 

those fronts were in Japan as well...

 

That is suprisingly well for macco...

How much of the prep work did you do yourself and as they said above, did you do the wetsanding?

 

That looks great. I just got mine back from the Vacaville MAACO and it sucks! I swear I could have done a better job in my garage. The whole thing is just covered in orange peel. It has the texture of a freakin basketball.

 

Nice!

 

looks so good for a maaco job!

 

It looks good now but with my experience with Maaco cars, it won't look nearly as clean in a few months.

 

clean

 

sick paint job!! Do you get alot of camber?

 

I don't like that JDM newbie sticker. I hate the fact that i actually know what it means. But your paint does look nice.

 

i work at a body shop and i can tell u right now just lookin at the car it looks like a shittttttty paint job. its toooo dull wen the sun hits it. theres waaaaaaaaay tooo much orange peel. it def wont last long. shoulda got a base/clear....otherwise i like wat u did with it and u shouldve shaved those moldings

 

I Paid 500 for the whole thing, I prepped the car myself with a friend, the paint is supprisingly smooth and it hasnt been wet sanded yet, it does have a bit of an orange peel effect to it if u look really close. Im looking to bring it back this week for wet sanding just to finish it off, also i have no idea what kind of paint macco uses but my dads friend gave them a different brand to spray it with, called PPG or something like that.
Here are a few Befores, i dont have pics of when i first got it, Oxidation everywhere!
