M Door Mouldings
M Mirrors.
Keeping the ACS roof spoiler

S52 swap will have to wait til Summer '09....

Thanks guys..

The car was sprayed last night, so I'll be taking more pics this morning. The color looks amazing. I was considering going with Estoril but I'm glad I stuck with the original....

Thanks for posting the pics.

Would you care to share the prices for the work?

Looking forward to the finished photos.

Looks awesome dude can't wait to see the finished result!

By the way, do you know how many clips and green grommets the ti needs for the M-tech mouldings? I was trying to count them in your picture but couldn't see all of them. Thanks!

The paintjob is going to cost $2400.00 a little steep, but a steal when compared to the $5,000 I was quoted by other shops. This shop does super sweet work and are recommended by the SoCal Auto Club.

Here are some pics that I took this morning. Still needs to be "dry-sanded" and polished...
