Ima see it again tomorrow when they roll into the garage where they'll paint it. It's gonna be fully repainted with a stillen lip. Same paint it had when it came out of the factory in June 1999.

Wow it looks like they're putting a lot of effort into your car. Looks good.

Make sure you post some after shots.

Park it out in the corner so no pukes ding it up!

A good ol' tape and squirt.

And who said they were putting a lot of time into it?

Seriously, the tail lights should have been removed, so should the door handles, spoiler ect. How in the world are they going to get paint to lay down correctly UNDER the spoiler?

A classic examply of you get what you pay for.
Hope it's up to your standards when it's done.

From that last image - looks like they did a really nice job on the smoothing on the side from fender to fender...
Is your car the Pearl White or the other bright White?? (pictures do not do the differences in the white much justice)

Most certainly agreed with this man right here. I too got my car repainted two summers ago and although I don't have a spoiler, they definitely suppose to remove for the paint to sit properly. No professional paints a car with a spoiler like that which has space under it. Let's hope you never have to remove it afterwards to replace LEDs as the paint will come up with it. As for the lights, most jobs would not take off the tails because of the resealing issue. When you remove those lights, most certainly will leak when replaced if the weatherstrip is not changed. Just out of curiosity, how much is this job costing you?

you get what you pay for, but for an 11 year old car with 210k, it's going to be better than it was.
