Hi guys,

OK so I've got some OEM rear extensions coming from DCW and I'll be tracking down some sides and a front lip soon but I need a plan to get me motivated. I was expecting to just get all of the extensions and skirts sprayed and then screw them onto the car but now I'm thinking I might be better off to go the whole hog and get everything done. kindasad.gif

I want to remove my spoiler so then the panelbeaters will have to fill the mounting holes. And I thought it may also look cooler if I get the extensions/skirts moulded onto the body (so you won't see the join). The car has a few dings around, along with patches of odd colour from the last spray job it had (a really crappy job!).

But it's all coming down to the $$$. Can anyone give me any idea of what sort of cost I'd be looking at to get the whole car reprayed - it would be the same colour it is now (silver). And the work I was talking about above. I am pretty handy so I guess I could get it all prepped (remove the spoiler, etc). Anyone with Aussie prices too would be appreciated wink.gif

Thanks!

Zac

That sounds cool - but does it still look OK? Are the lines where the new coat stops noticeable?
