Sorry to hear that about the damage man, but looks like the car will look even better with the new paint job.

Wow, that is one of the few two tone paint jobs I like! Looks awesome, man! (Both old and new looks good) Sorry about what happened, glad to see it's coming out looking even better!

Thanks! Just wait... the old paintjob always looked halfassed to me. But now, it'll look fantastic (I hope) all I have left to do is the pinstripe, and get it realigned

Wow I like that you changed the layout of the paint. The original scheme was pretty nasty, no offense. It looks like your going in the right direction! I hope it turns out nice for you!

I was too excited to see my car to remember the camera, so here's a couple shitty pics until tomorrow when I can snap a few good ones. Yes, the bumper lights are black, they just look funny due to the flash





Now it feels like my car!
