It's done :)
 

Got the max back today (fender damage) .. mentioned before since it was in the shop, had them paint the black lip trim... thanks to KC and the others that decided to do this to their's, all the inspiration I needed :)

Caliber Collision in Lewisville, TX did a great job on the repairs and paint.

looks good, welcome back bud..

Looks shexy. now you just need white walls :lol: that would be pimp

oooh... clear your tails and use red bulbs!

why not go with some white tints also :hide:

looks great! how much was the damage?

Does anyone have a guestimate on how much it might cost to have that lower part of the bumper painted? Just curious because it looks great painted the same as the body.

Humm.. paint the grill... It could be like DeusEX's film negitive?

I paid $120

The total (less the trim) was 1,560 I believe... his insurance covered it.

Atleast you took something negative and turned it into a positive with the much better looking front end now.

Thanks! It sucks that it happened, but hey, while they had the paint missed-up.. ya know?

Just got to look at it under lights, frankly I'm amazed (and relieved) they matched the paint so well. They do need to readjust the panel (new fender) a little (hood sits higher on the "bad side", but they have agreed to do so.

Overall, I'm happy with the work. Now off to Tweeter for the Viper install and sub...

Do it all white, yeah!!!! Looks good so far.

I have 2 12" subs and a box that cost me $600 + a $600 viper amp. Took it out of the old ride with the intent to sell...till I saw how terrible the resale is on this stuff....The subs have less than one month on them...been sittin in my house for almost 2 years now. If you wire this stuff into the stock system does it sound as good as with an aftermarket head and speakers? Im afraid the soundstage would be awful.

Awesome, doesnt it feel good to have her back?

Nismo, I think thats why 04BlackMax replied the way he did.

I too have a system from my previous car, I'm so eager to install it in my max too.

in case there is any confusion.. the Viper I mentioned is the security system ( http://www.drdetailshop.com/V791XV.htm )

Undecided on the sub at this point. Not looking for ground shaking stuff, rather "accurate" bottom end with a little punch, beyond the Bose. Almost tempted to go with just a basslink.

Car looks good and I'm loving the way the white max's look with the lower valance painted. Wonder how it would look in smoke.....

Car looks very nice!!! Looks like body shop made a great job. I always liked white with that lower valence on same color and the billet grille. Now, it's just a matter of putting in some nice 18" or 20" crome wheels....

Looks real good!

looks like a great job they did... keep us updated.. ur max looks sweet
