Default Pics of my EK -> Accident Recovery [56k get out your kneepads]

Crashed this thing twice in the last 4 months, the rear quarter panels still need to be fixed by the shop but other then that it is making a slow yet steady recovery all for under $200! So far I put on the new hood, front and rear bumper and back right tailight. I dont have pics fron the second accident, but hey you can see the first one. When all is said and done its gonna get a few coats of mirror black, but for now it is... THE MULTICOLOR WONDER! Shined with Meguiers 3step!

Before:




After:



I took the latest pics at night as soon as I finished the 3step, ill take a few more in the day tomorrow so you can truly see the multicolor madness, although i kinda like the silver on dark blue.



hahah this is my 420th post if ya know what i mean

Didn't want to paint the hood body-color when you painted everything else?

Did you fix the damage on your own?

It doesn't look bad.

Everyone has to have the opportunity to do their own thing.
