cool man, wow you know bondo over like 1/2 inch will crack wile it dries, glad that you had it fixed rather then just rolling with it, I hate if when people cover up **** to sell it, my frunt bumper caused me trubble because the previous owner or the owner before that used very ****ty paint and sealer crap that soaked into the mateial and basicly forced me to replace it, but its ok I'm going with a full frunt from erebuni witch will look really cool.
What are you plans for it, body kits? anything mojor you wana let us know. --------------------  |

The factory did not cover something up. They don't hand build the cars, mess something up, and plop on an inch of body filler to fix it. If you had an inch of body filler on the roof, it's because a shop did it to repair some damage that was caused after the car made it out of the Toyota factory.
But anyway, cool pics. I love seeing bodywork pics, almost as much as the finished product pics. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

I think it looks great. I'd love to get mine repainted. Those rims look good, too. Are they 7th gen rims? I love the clean look.

LOL, when having a car repainted you have to fix all the door dings etc. b/c once it is repainted, the dings etc would show up more...so you can weigh the pros and cons... ugly paint job/fast car | nice paint job/a little slower car ...no clue what the 0-60 diff would be...probably like .1 of a sec....lol....i don't think bondo is heavy enough to make a difference... -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ
