a little paint and body work on my 2kse

well i bought an 02 front bumper for my car, so i figured instead of just painting it to match the car i would paint the whole car and have a few dings pulled out and the trunk smoothed. here are few pics from the process. i'll have more pics over the next couple of days. it's almost done and i can't wait to see it finished.
here's the link to my website that has pics on pages 4 and 7

before


after




the trunk is still being worked on. the paint messed up on it just a little bit. and the shop saw it and is redoing. they are doing a very nice job. the holes are welded which is very nice. i'm going through and doing the wet sanding process. here are a few pics of before and after wetsanding on the rear quarter just so i could get an idea of how the paint is going to turn out.

i'll have more pics up tomorrow, it won't be done tomorrow but the car will be back together. i still have a few days of wet sanding till it's ready to be buffed out. i want it to look damn near perfect, and my arms are killing me for it. but it'll be worth it in the end. and i do have a drop, my car is on maxspeeds, its the little 16" wheels that make it look like it's not dropped. thanks for the compliments.

Wow I simply love the paint, looks beautiful. Cant wait to see it w/ the 02 bumper... You plan on getting skirts/lip kit? Car would look sooo sweet, Never seen a green 5.5 gen.

Also suggest getting some bigger wheels.
