i just got my car back from the bodyshop after three months of not having it. it took them a while to actuly start working on it but once they started five days and 3300 later my cars all buttoned back up and looking better than ever. here are some after pictures. the before ones are on my cardomain. it came out better than i ever thought. i just need to figure out how to get the MS bumper alittle tighter to the hood and headlights. any help here would be great.

this last one i took today at the body shop before i even brought it home.

you cant really tell from the before pictures but even before the garage fell on it it had rust up on the roof along the windsheild. it had rust on the pass rear quarter and on the hatch. i also counted 36 dents even before the garage fell on it. and the spoiler was a different color than the rest of the car.

the stripes should be going back on in about a week and a half.

hope you like it leave me comments on cardomain and rate me HIGH.

thanks for looking

and thanks to ORoutdoors for the MS bumper

Dude i love it, i think it looks better without tint like yours. I removed my side tint and woah it changed the look on it. Now the ladies can see me even if my windows are rolled up hah.

yeah i also forgot to mention that i shaved the sidemarkers and the antenna by myself before i took it into the body shop.

even tho its growing on me it still feels naked with out the stripes ... well see how i feel about them in a week when the paint is goodenough for them to be put on

I dont think it will matter, clean FTW. Stripes will ruin everythig you have done to it at this point.

okay i guess the general opinion is no stripes.... which is funny because i asked like two months ago if i should keep the stripes or not and no one responded.... lol any ways. on every car i have owned my motife has been red and white. i want to keep that alive .... i feel that the wheels are not enough white ... so any ideas on how to get some more white into my car?

also i updated my cardomain again with more pics and some more of the interior all the new pics are on page 2
