My friend got his 2k1 back from the shop with a custom paint job...we sorta had a little meet me and my other friend as well.. these guys will be at the mid atlantic meet w/ me, the pictures from my crappy camera dont do the job justice. Hes going to have two bottles of Nitrous and custom turbo job from Dynamic which is almost finished...so anyone who has questions may want to think them up for the meet [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

paint looks nice, but IMO its not so nice when you open your hood or trunk and its not painted...like its one thing even for the hood and trunk not to be painted but the fuc*en' door jambs? like come on, that looks so cheap, that would just bother me so much, like hood and trunk i can look past, but not the door jambs,
wat color was it before?

look real nice, but don't you think its a waste of money to get a paint job at such a early stage when the factory paint job is still so new...

thats pretty cool. not the fact that he had to repaint the entire car, but at least insurance paid for it and he got to choose what color he wanted to get. Im likin the paint job but I would spend my money on other things first.

Nice Awesome Paint Job.

I'm sure it is very impressive in person.

I feel the stock tails would be a better match, and while the altezzas look decent, I think it would look cleaner with the stockies.

Also, not really feeling the body kit with that color. Oh well, a bad-*** ride either way.

I like that a lot. Is he going to paint the non painted parts in due time? Also, are you going to let us know what comes about from the custom turbo he is getting?
