you know you can line up you doors and panels....would just take a littlt time. IS that the same car? In the before pics there looks to be a ITR 5 lug conversion with wheels, and the after shows 4 lugs......I dunno, other that the body lines not lineing up so straight, i think it looks good.

Yea I know i need to line up stuff a little better, but I am lazy. I sold the 5 lug for 4 lug, the racing harts, and some money. thats why thats different. Any help in resizing the pics?

What's up y0?

I had no idea that you were repainted the car bro - looks good man.

Who painted it?

Anyways about resizing those pics, what Windows program are you running? If you have XP open the pics with the XP "Paint" program, go to "Views" and just put the "100%" at less until you get the desired result. Then save over the older, bigger pic or create a new name and save.

Then reupload the pics and relink them.

Oh yeah, also in paint you can use a white paint brush and cover your tag number if you care to do so.

How'd the roof turn out?

Nice car and nice color personally, I would have kept the 5lug, but I am sure you had your reasons for going back to 4lug...

Get that bumper lined up better and the car will look pretty good. I assume it's the bumper because it looks like your lower radiator support got nailed pretty bad in the middle there. What happened? Did you paint it yourself? It's so much better when people DIY in my opinion!

ok....that's a bad *** paint job you got there...couple of questions:

1. where did you go to get the paint job done?
2. what color is that?
3. how much did the whole paint job cost you?

i'm interested in doing my own paint job but i have some body damage on the driver's side door and rear quarter panel...so i'll need some body work too.
for your clean hatch...oh and one more for your stock motor and excellent mileage

It pretty much was tossed together. I got the car for a VERY cheap price but it was teal and I did not like the color. I spent $15 on body filler and did some body work myself. I then primered it myself and paid $250 for a Maaco-like paint job. It was done by a shop called Peach Auto Painting, but its just like maaco. It took them 2 days to do it. I was happy with it. I wasent expecting it to turn out like Tom's car, but all in all I figure I have about $2500 in the car including the wheels and hood. So for that amount of money, I dont think it was a bad investment. Not a show winner, but a good daily driver.

Still didn't tell me about the roof yet bro!

What did you do about it? I can't see well enough in the pics to know what you did.

If you want to IM me instead that's cool.

Sorry bro,

The roof looks okay, its not, like I said, "show quality" but I am not picky, and it will do. I need to bring it up to the shop and let you check it out.
Edit: I just used bondo to fill it.
