Car undergoing major changes...

Well as of yesterday the changes have started. They will happen pretty rapidly and I will post pics as soon as I am able to get them. The first thing is the flame graphics came off, and so did the mirror tint. Next thing is, air suspension is going on this week. And then soon to follow I will be taking the car to the painter to get the door handles shaved, side markers shaved, and the car will be painted PPG Prowler Orange. Depending on how long it takes him to paint the car I should be able to post pics this summer.

Paint job price..

Well so far the estimate is at about 3K give or take some money.

As far as being like the Stillen Altima orange I haven't seen it. The prowler orange is a burnt orange with pearl and a hint of metallic.

The color is very similar but a little more pearl in it. But that is a close color.

hows are you supposed to open the door can you program a remote to do a "door pop" similar to a "tunk pop" or would you just have to roll down the window with the remote and reach in?
