Re: It all came together after 2 weeks
About the paint. I went to Econo body and Paint here in Austin Texas. Before I turned my car in the guy explained that with Urethane paints you can't buff out anything so there will be inperfections. Base Coat clear Coats(what the factory puts on) still has inperfections however those can be buffed out. This in mind I wasn't expecting perfect. Knowing this yes I am very happy so far with the job they did. There are inperfections, but most are so small that you would really have to get about 1 foot from them to see them. If you want a true show car look them get the $2000 - $6000 paint job. However if you wanna look good driving down the road and in parking lots and such were people AREN'T tring to point out every little inperfection then get the paint job I did.<P>Basic job is $499 (Sanding, Preping, and Painting)<BR>Door Jams = $100<BR>Trunk = $100<P>Then I had a dent pulled and some other body work done.<P>Warrenty for 4 years<P>Hope this helps :p

Re: It all came together after 2 weeks
wow that muffler install was expensive...is that including muffler price and piping price? down here, welding on a muffler without bigger piping is only $40.
