Default New Paint, New Springtime Pics!

I had a few extra minutes on my lunchbreak the other day and had the camera with me so I snapped a few pics. My picture taking skills aren't exactly the greatest and a 10 year old dig. camera sure doesn't help. But the car looks better in person












I need to get something done about those exhaust tips and the day I do I'm getting a photographer to do a nice formal photoshoot for it.

Thanks guys. The paint is just a bit over 2 months old. I only had to shell out $1000 for it. The insurance cut me a check for the damage which of course wasn't enough. I was willing to give the $1000 because that's what I had been saving for new paint anyway and I told my painter I wanted a flawless finish, new ws6 hood included. He took almost two months but as of today, I can't find a single defect in his work.
