this is how it looked when i first bought ... diamond in the ruff so to speak

i wa not goin to drive it an hour back home like that so off to lowes i was to get a couple rattle cans...

how much did you pay for it?

i got it for 1200 basically bought the rims exuast and intake and got the car for free

what it looks like now after a couple more ratttle cans to get it inspected

wish it was still the origional burnt orange!

If I were you I'd ditch the body kit. Get a nice 2gb eclipse bumper and headlights, and 2gb rear bumper. If the body is straight, go to maaco for a quick spray. Also, you should get a high rise spoiler to complete the look. Unless you're into the whole body kit thing.

A word of warning if you take it to Maaco though. You will want to sand off all the spray paint yourself. Maaco sucks at sanding and I doubt they will do a good job. You will want to sand all the spray paint off because it was solvents and binders that do not bond well with automotive paint if it is sprayed over. Just food for thought man.

well i was planning on spraying it myself so i will be doing all the prep work just needed it all one color to pass inspection and not have the boys hastling me ..just need some nice days to start sanding and filling and sanding and then basecoat

Yeah Im in the same boat as you. Is this your first spray job?

I agree with Cris. 2GB Eclipse front and rear bumper with a high rise wing will look better than any body kit. I would also get yourself an upper timing belt cover.

+2 on the sanding the spray paint off before re-spraying it. I made this mistake once on a race car.

i was trying to get the timing cover off a car at the scrappers the other day with no luck couldnt figure it out any suggestions

what scrapyard? ever been to Gary's U Pull it?

Ryan its harrys not garys lol. And that place sucks. EZ pull is a lot better, they have like 20 dsms all the time.

Gary's is where we go up north Cris. Kind of just like Harry's but not quite as big. Still big. But yea, Gary's U-Pull-It is where we go up north.
