My car is coming out of paint today! UPDATED WITH PICS

[SRT Handz]

^^ Needs To Find some Friends on the Left Coast and send Me Some Business.... lol

 

[duh09]

Yea, I def need headlights. Not sure on whether smoked or Black Beauties again...

I need to take it back in, he missed on little spot on the bumper, one that I'm sure he probably though would be covered up by something, and I'll talk to him then about waxing, cleaning, and all that for the first few weeks.

I say smoked! I will never buy another type for my car. I love how they look!!

 

[ARdoller]

dude you need to do something with those fog lights. i just realized how recessed they are. you can hardly see them. the envoy mod would really fill those holes out.

 

[adrift]

You have any before pictures duh09?

 

[98bullet]

I'm glad every thing worked out for ya. It looks great by the way.

 

[duh09]

1STOF3- I still really like the way black beauties look, but I might get smoked. It's hard to say at the moment which way I'll go.

ARdoller- The stocks don't fit the hole and the Envoy one's are almost too big. I still like the look of none, so I'm probably going to be rocking that for a long time mainly because its free and looks goood.

adrift- Your wish is my command, give me a sec to dig them up.

How it looked when I bought it:

Then Basically how it looked for a little over a year (bumper and lights were put on 2-3months after owning it)

And Now!

 

[eliyarbrough]

Huge change!! Looks great.

I actually like the cheesy pinstripes in the first picture. The after photo looks great though. The painted mirrors look great. Its amazing what a little detail like that does to the overall look of the car.

 

[duh09]

The stripes looked ok with the bra on and I liked the look from the rear. The rearend didn't look as fat as it does now. Howevveerrr, theres no real good looking way to do the stripes up front in my opinion. They ended at the end of the hood on mine but they really should have went all the way down, but then they don't look good with the curves of the grill and bumper. I thought about what I wanted to do to make it stand out, and me and the painter came up with the pearl and he threw in the metalflake when he painted the bumpers for the hell of it and I liked it so he went ahead and sprayed the whole car in it. I also had the GT emblems removed which a couple of my family members have given me hell about but I like how clean it looks. The mirrors help that out too. I like it, and thats all the really matter in the end,

Ah, yeah, I hadn't thought about how the stripes would end. I hate car bras, so I'd never do that. You can really tell the difference between the whites in the pics. Not as much as in real life though I'm sure.

looks good man glad it came out how you wanted it!

 

[duh09]

i'm kind of annoyed that you can't see it in pics. You can't even tell it in the shade, but when the sun hits it or its parked next to another plain white car, you can def see it. I love it.

 

[EastBayStang98]

its a a pretty big transformation but it looks sooo good now

 

[94darkhorse]

Turned out great man! And no go on the wax for a couple months, gotta let it cure properly.

 

[US Soldier(stang 98)]

looks good duh

 

[ARdoller]

now thats its all fresh lookin, all those misaligned body panels stick out like a sore thumb :tongue3:

sometimes i wish my car was white. the cobra front ends look so nice in white.

 

[duh09]

I know... The doors really need new bushigns and stuff, and the driver side fender just won't fit right. I'm sure it has a lot to do with being a cheap aftermarket fender and the fact that there was a another package that broke into the one my fender was in probably doesn't help any either. The Cobra bumper is sex in white... to bad now I can notice every single bug on the front of it. -.-
