if you do a color swap be sure to pay the extra $ to get it done right or youll regret it every time you open the door or load something in the back. most of the time you can get away with the engine bay being black but would still look better if it matched.

...my 2 cents

The shop does great prep work: the second picture shown is my wife's car and we got it painted at the same shop. I was really looking forward to having match color wife and husband theme. LOL

[Also added the 6LE dual exhaust valance with some Corsa clones.




Did they paint the bumper with the valance on it? If they did you'll never be able to take it off.
