Well, just got my car back today, and the guy who did it was kind enough to take pics throughout the process... Here's some before and afters for ya... Sorry about the size, but I don't have photoshop right now... If someone wants to resize them for me, I'd be very appreciative...



I took those damn yellow emblems off a while ago, but this is an old pic...



Ugly huh? Hawaii is DAMN hard on cars...



Sanded down...



And painted...

I like it a lot better now...



Before...



After...



Before...



After...

The guy who did it for me wasn't able to do the engine bay, because there was too much grease and what not, so when I do my swap in a month or so, he'll shoot it then, since he's probably gonna help me to do it...

You can't really see it very well, but it's got silver pearl, which'll show up more when he buffs it in a couple weeks...

What you guys think? Questions? Comments?

 

the silver=bad-****** ***!!

 

you're a girl right??

edit: nm, telling by your name you're a guy.. WTF is up with your "white girl" seat covers?

No...

 

dope make over, your coupe looks great

 

What do you mean "white girl" seat covers?

I'm on Maui, and that print is pretty much the only one that I could find in that color... Had the whole color scheme going with the interior, shift ****, pedals, seat covers are all red... Now I'm gonna switch it to grey...

 

Nice !

 

now take and sand or do what ever you have to to get the paint of the center grill and off ur tow hook, center grill needs to be black

 

blah those seat covers.. i know tons of chicks with those.. i guess its a Hawaii thing

cool.
looks really clean to me.
nice to see it once its buffed too.

i'd say you should have kept all your black plastic molding,
or replaced it with new black plastic,

ur car tho, congrats

 

looks awesome man!
yay, another silver coupe!

i really like the steel gray slips on the silver car.

good luck with the swap and your future plans!

Did he fix the fitment of the bumper and hood?

Looks good, but I'm not feeling the seat covers.

Not really, but at least it's not so noticeable... I'm considering a body kit, and DEFINITELY getting a CF hood in the not too distant future, so I didn't have him do that... The body kit, just because I don't wanna put a front lip on it, with all the speed bumps we have in Maui, and the hood because of how many rocks get thrown up on the road here, my hood had SO many dings in the paint...

 

not bad bruddah!!

 

wow

 

paint job looks good to you

 

looks good.. you need a frt lip...

 

 

Looks like a clean job. How much did it run you? And since you know the guy, sounds like you got a good deal. Have fun with the swap too.

 

$1800 flat, he did all the sanding, everything...
