Default Uh Oh... It's coming together EG Project Phase 1

I just got my car back from the paint shop so I thought I'd share with everyone...
It still needs some things done: new front widshield, new driver side door pillar, carpet, the interior is going to be sprayed when I get the motor in... but it's basically my rolling chassis. The WW front lip is up on the shelf, it really adds alot to the car when on. b20VTEC Motor goes in this week, still need some misc things.
More updates this week.

The color is 2002 Mustang GT Mineral Gray, these photos don't do it justice...
I'll take day pics when the motor is in...

I bought it with shaved moldings, so I figured I'd just shave everything else I didnt want like the antenna, hood squirters and emblems...

The wheels look hot, I was actually think of getting some 97 gsr's and bronzing them and leaving the lip polished

Nice!

How much does it cost to get a re-spray paint job to your car in the States? how much US$?

It roughly cost about AUD$3000

Although it is a nice color contrast, you're going to look like a pimp with gold wheels. Unfortunately, dark silver wheels don't look good on dark silver cars, so I guess that was the only way to go. Good luck.

I figured gold was the only way to go since I didnt want to color match the wheels because I thought it would look akward... I'm prolly going to get some nice polished Volks soon...
