Looks like the body is in good shape. Good luck with it all.

 

how much are you spending on the paint job?

 

make sure you get a good paint job; Do it right the first time! you dont want to get it repainted several times

 

yea the body is in good shape im just real picky da paint is sun faded and couple scratches here and there

i payed 900 for a pearl white paint job

and yea i want this paint done rite thatz y i didnt even wana risk it by me doing it my self lol

 

900 for full color change and its a tri-stage? wow

 

Is that a good or bad thing?

 

hes painting everything except for engine bay

 

seems too good to be true.. i def wanna see after pictures

 

not a bad start i want to see it painted.

 

thanks ppl makes me feel proud ill definitely keep yu guys updated wit pics wen i get her back from da body shop
as in performance wat motor should i do ls-v or gsr????

 

MAN I MISS MY HATCH ANYWAYS I SOLD DA GSR HEAD AND MADE UP MY MIND OF GOING ALL GSR SO YEA WILL KEEP YU GUYS UPDATED WEN THE HATCH IS DONE WITH PAINT

 

Why does everyone ask this? Research the pros and cons of both and build the car you want.

Not trying to be rude, but build what you want without worrying what others think.

 

Is not that i care what people think, what im really trying to ask is which is faster ls-v or gsr?????

 

for the price, LS-v


but this is the paint and body section not engines...

 

uuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh is been a month and car still not ready
i miss her soooo much
i saw her today
she was all primered

 

$900 is not much for such a big job with expensive supplies....almost on par with a MAACO price, but I don't know your painter so who knows. I hope it turns out well

 

bummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmp

 

those colors are hurting my eyes

 

i think that a white car with purple wheels will look dope.... good luck with it i hope it turns out good.... my friend paid 1600 to have his ek painted this weird dark blue and wreacked it the next day.

 

lol naaa hell na it aint a maaco job
Thanks i wanted to do white on purple cuz is pretty rare
yu dont see it alot

 

good luck

 

THE HATCH IS DONE EVERYONE! =D IT LOOKS JDM A$$ FCK
WILL POST PICS IN A COUPLE MINS

GUNA BUY MESHIES AND PAINT THEM PURPLE AND THEN SAVE UP FOR SUM ROTA TRACK R'S WIT DA PURPLE LIP
