Re: getting new paint job (trick_db)

I like my car shaved, but I have noticed that it is more susceptible to door dings in parking lots. Keep that in mind.

Re: getting new paint job (trick_db)

If you want the looks than definetly shave them. Also remeber that how often people open there doors without paying attention how close the next car over is. A couple months ago I was in your shoes when I went to paint my car. I kept mine and im glad I did.
