Back from the paint shop - spoilerless and restored to its original brilliance.

I like the color. Really cleans up the rear without the spoiler.

Nice paint job. Was wondering who did you get to do it and what did it cost you? Im in the market for a new paint job on my 99 T/A but want to find someone I can trust to do a bang up job. PM me with info if you cant post it on forums.
