Car is finally fixed! (Bodywork)

Finally got the car straightened out! So pumped.

Prep/prime/paint front bumper, front lip, rear lip
Repair/blend rear bumper
Sand and re-clear CF hood

Total was $600 for the paint work.

Before


After
Damn rain came out of nowhere..

Hood has since been gapped better

This is the rear lip I am working on installing, maybe tomorrow

I think I may paint the diffuser area black on the rear lip, waiting to see how it looks on the car.

Btw. Traded my retros for the hood, working on building a new set now, should have the done soon!

^ yah, was a deal i couldnt pass up.

Thnaks guys, loving the car as it is right now, needs a little more to be perfect. rear lip is being a bitch, but ill get it.

i do like the raingaurds, not the biggest fan of how they come all the way down, but i dont get windsheild run off in the car, and they are the in-channel ones, so they dont look as bulky as the Autozone ones.

I drive the car everyday, so i they are there for use, not for looks. 186K miles and still moves pretty well, granted its N/A.

Looks good other than the back bumper definitely looks like it's missing something... The lip! Get it on!
