Hello everyone!
I just got my car back from paint yesterday and it looks awesome! Comments appreciated. **UPDATE** - Here's some pics with the sideskirts and splitters on... I got pulled over by a cop cause I was taking pics on the side of the road lol. PS- I'm not a photographer. -Rob This post has been edited by RbrtNdrws: Aug 5, 2007 - 8:55 PM -------------------- |

I've been working on the car all summer. I bought the front bumper, sideskirts, rear splitters, spoiler and fenders from Jarco, Inc. locally for 1000 bucks total. It sort of worked out because I didn't have to pay shipping. I ordered the hood from Toyota for 657 including all of the pieces. I got the Tails and the clear indicators from a member on here locally for around 180 total maybe? I got the rear visor on ebay for 72 dollars including shipping.
I had 15 or 16 dings in the car that I spent about 40 hrs or so fixing all of them and then sanding the whole car down and fixing a few rust spots. I probably spent ~100 bucks on supplies. I had to repair both sideskirts were cracked badly and I fiberglassed the spoiler into one piece. I also had to weld two plates where the wiper and the antenna used to be but I got that done for free by a friend. Paint cost me ~1500 dollars. I had the whole car stripped down when I took it to paint to try and save me money. Anyway, I've probably got about 3500 dollars in the exterior of the car now. I could have had a 5s turbo set up for that kind of money but I decided to go for looks first . -------------------- |
