I don't dig paints on parts that aren't supposed to be painted. Seen too many of those half-assed jobs, it's nasty.

Yeah...A little too much color for my tastes...It would have looked much nicer with the grill left black, trim pieces, etc. Looks like they just masked off the windows and went to town with the spray gun...

Looks ok but need better light to see. Well they oversprayed your tire that sucks but I have to agree to much wight should have left the grill stock with no paint. Who painted it?

DEFFINETLY have that grill painted back to black or stripped. I HATE when body shops don't pay attention to details!!!!

Also, is that overspray on your tire?! What shitty paint job, Im sorry.

I see overspray on the rear glass too.

Did you check to see if they had any masking tape at the paint shop before you dropped the car off?

I don't dig painting the grille side skirts, but oh well. It's your car, not mine.

It does make me wonder what kind of quality the job is seeing all that overspray...

Looks good. I had a championship white hatch that was stolen. My new hatch is red, I hate red. Just paint the grille black and your straight mang.

Yeah, that painted grill is funky. Reeks of MAACO. I hate the look of Civics/Sols with body painted grills.

Oh... you might wanna clean and spray your fender wells too, that isn't too flossy either.
