teh PuRpL3 is painted :) Got to see what the painted car looks like today.. and all I had to say was... WOW!
HUGE improvement... it looks 10 times better than before. The most noticeable improvement is the hood. Before the paint, there was a visible rippling effect in the look of the paint on the hood... now it's smooth as glass. A definite improvement over stock...
Looks like it should be done mid next week... Still a little more work to do... they were painting all the pieces... fascias, headlight covers..door handles, mirrors.. etc... while I was there today...
Here's the pics of what it looks like now..

You realise that now you are going to have to keep that baby CLEAN.

Glad you kept the color. 
I can not wait to see it. Is there a web site where you got it painted at?

Damn... If it looks 10x better than it used to, then you are in for some SERIOUS stares.
Because it's going to look 10x's better with bumpers. Thats a net 100x's better!
100x's!
