Car finally hit the body shop...

Here is phase one of the makeover.











I can't wait to get this car back. These guys have painted a few of my friends cars, including a nice Lexus that is show only and they do awesome work. Paint jobs look better then factory.

It's going to be BMW Stratus silver with a custom surprise pearl effect mixed in. I'll keep you guys posted.

I know, I'm stomping around in my VW right now until the sol is finished. They said about 2-3 weeks and I should have her back. It's also getting some 16" Rota Circuit 8's in bronze, no wing, smoothed door handles and antenna, molded 92-95 civic front lip, molded side skirts (buddy club) and a molded buddy club rear bumper.

The entire paint job, body work, etc.. is running me 1500$, but that's discounted down from 4000 because the guy who own's the body shop is about to be family-in-law...

My guess is that they are Motegi MR7's with a Honda Center cap...

Those aren't MR7's.. MR7's also have a small badge in one of the spokes. Those are sweet wheels though.

They finished painting the door jams, underside of the trunk and top today. I took some pics. I'll post them later so you can get an idea of the color. I have to hit the store for some new AA's for my camera before I can upload the pics.

Ok, I found some batteries.

Here are the latest pics..







And last but not least. I decided at the last minute to ditch the BMW silver in favor of a darker deeper color. Here is a preview. Keep in mind that this is only one coat after the base coat. It also has no clear. You should see the color after it has been clearcoated, wetsanded and buffed. Wow..

I love the mean6s derek, great choice. Polished lip?

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm going to visit her again on monday or tuesday, I'll post more pics then. It should be done in about a week and a half, but it's staying at the body shop until the weather gets nicer.
