Huge improvement. Although, I think black and NBM cars look better with glossy paint instead of the CETA for some reason.

Yeah that isn't going to be a pretty estimate, but it'll be worth it.

I got a handful of quotes from different places in my area. The cheapest being 1000 and the most expensive being over 2000 (for just the hood, bumper, and quarter panel!) and the rest were between 1150-1500. The shop I ended up going with charged me 1250 after tax. It's a lot but it was worth it.

I thought the same for a little, and even thought about keeping the CETA off after I peeled it, but now I just cant picture TAs with out the CETA. It just looks right to me.

Looks like they matched the paint pretty good!

The whole car looks 100x times better with just those 3 body parts painted and the CETA mod redone!! Now get some good soap, sealant, and wax to protect that paint! That very first pic looks terrible with no water beading whatsoever.

Oh yeah the paint was in its worst state in that pic. I'm still waiting for the paint to cure so I can wax it and such, which will be in about 2 weeks. Believe me, I'm itching to do it!

Nice looking.....I actually bought my 99 ws6 from Lafayette. I'm over in Lake Charles. Just started replacing the front suspension on mine and lowered it. Amazon has moog parts a lot cheaper than the local auto stores.
