Default Some pics of my new paint job.

Below are a few quick pics of my new paint job. the whole car was painted including the spoon mirrors, type r wing, side skirts, and rear liscense plate holder. the molding holes were filled. the color is flamenco black. the pics kinda suck and dont do the paint job justice. ill post some better pics up asap.

no body lines look kinda funny IMO. Looks better with the indent than to just be flat. Plus it easier just to fill in the holes rather than filling in the whole area.

good eyes. its pretty big. its going back to my friends body shop for some final touches. there is alot of texture in the paint and its gonna all get buffed out. the bumper is getting straightened out and the wing is getting aligned better. in all i payed 2666 for all that is done so far. the rest will cost me about 500 from the best body shop around. they quoted me 5000 for just a paint job there. and thats a discount because im friends with the owner. they do ridiculious work. anyway im drunk so peace out.

What lip is that? I don't care much for it. I dig the 99-00 Si stock lip...But it's your car not mine. Looks very cool w/out those moldings, nice how you just filled the holes and didn't **** up your car by slapping 25lbs. of Bondo like everyone else does.

actually its the strips of sheet metal you weld in there that may weigh something , you actually use very little body filler
