Looks good! Big investment for such an old car, but hopefully she gives you many more years on the road. I don't plan on letting go of my '02 any time soon.

It needs a cut and buff. Looks 1000% better.

Looks great! How much did that cost and did you do any of the disassembly yourself?

In California so it wasn't cheap. 3,195.64 the package was the one below their top offering.

The final price for the package I chose was 3,195.64 they do have packages that start at 500. But I'm in California and everything is expensive.

looks good, i guess black cars get it the worst cause the paint gets hot. my white 02 looks decent for its age except for the roof that is fading.

Still working on my 2001. A landscaper managed to scratch it before its final wet sand and buff. '02 bumper cover and grill. All new fenders, rockers and wheel arches. Custom color shift blue-violet over black.

Wow, that is amazing! Looks brand new. I have to ask, though. Why the big investment? That's likely about what the car is worth.

Decided to keep it for 20 more years.

I plan on keeping my 02 6 speed as long as I can. I might just go the cheap route and get it plasti dipped for now, as for the interior I just need new carpet. the car itself is running tip-top even though it's at 30X,XXX miles. I recently started adding some bolt-ons to see what it can do before I do a 7th gen swap later on.

Seems reasonable. Nothing wrong with that.
