Half of these photos were taken at my house, and the other half were taken at the Import Alliance Fall Meet 2008 in Nashville, TN.

Nice car bro, when did you get it repainted? Looks sick!

I know what you mean about ppl looking at the car, I was at a probe meet once and only one guy took a pic of my car and looked at it haha.

Oh well, car looks great man. I really like the rims

Thanks man! I got it repainted this June. It's kind of fun though having a car that people haven't even seen before, or even know what it is at that. But it sucks having nobody pay any interest to your car at all at these big car meets. lol.

Ha. Funny Story. I went up to my car and they asked if I drove it. I said yes. They asked if it was a v6, I said 4cyl, and then they walked away. Lol. It's all good though. 2 fans (somewhat fans) are better than no fans at all. ha.

Thanks man. I tried to keep it as OEM as possible. I didn't want to ruin such a unique car (with abysmal body kits or anything of that matter), so I kept it like it was meant to be from the factory while upgrading it. ha.

Good thinking. How much was the body work and paint if you dont mind me asking? Got some before pics?

To pull out all of the tiny dents and dings was $280. Then paint was $500. So total was $780. This was all from Econo Paint surprisingly. I got the best paint package that they offered which included a poly-urethane clear coat and a 4-5 year warranty (I think it was 4). I'll look on my other computer to see if I have any before pictures. My car wasn't too bad before the paint job though. There were minor scratches on the front and rear bumper, and miscellaneous parts missing chips of paint throughout the rest of the body.

Thanks. You can get a paint job anywhere between $200-500 there. It just depends on how much of a warranty you want. lol. It wouldn't cost nearly as much as mine to pull out the dents and dings. I had them pull out 28 dent's and dings I believe. It was quite intense. ha.

I'm impressed that it was an Econo job. I would go over all the oversprayed stuff with flat black (inside the grill, spare tire well, headlight rubber..). It looks really good.
