My car's progress *Updated*

Well, my car has been in the body shop for over a week now getting my fender, oem bumper and headlight fixed (hit and run in the mall...booo!!), and also getting my new Xenon front bumper on as well as shaving the "H" emblem of the stock front grille, and removing the rear "H" off the back, shaving off the key hole in the trunk, filling in the holes on the trunk from my APR wing, getting the Xenon rear to fit perfectly, and some minor touch ups on the edges of the sidekirts cuz of the winter...oh and getting A pillars and a few other pieces painted in silver.

Here are a few pics: hopefully i will get the car back this saturday. So i guess this means i will no longer be APRboy, so if you want, you can just call me boy, lol. I wanna go with a cleaner appearance, look bottom heavy.

At least you know who it was. I have no clue, went to the mall, when i got out of the mall, the car was hit. Just some white paint left on my car. Whoever did it, YOU SUCK!

here are some pics of it out of the body shop, finally...
First pic is of the front. The upper grille isn't finished yet cuz i'm getting the "H" removed. Notice the driver's side still doesn't fit right, that's cuz my oem headlight is effed. It sticks out like a ****. I can't put the projectors on for a couple of days still so it will look like this for a few more days.

Next pic you can see the fender is as good as new again...stupid headlight won't let the bumper sit right.

Third is of the whole car.

Yeah he fixed it, but right now the back of the oem headlight has came off the casing and the clips, and i can't push it back on. I can't touch the paint right now, but by the end of the week i should be good to go...

Talk about a work in process!!! You have about 8 million things goin' on there. I really like that trunk shaved and your choice of rims.

Don't know how much it is to shave the emblem. I did a whole bunch of stuff together, so i have no idea. Dennis, i got a kick *** deal on the Xenon, couldn't let this deal go by.

It took about a week and a half. I'm gonna refinish that part on the trunk that where the holes for the wing were. Stuff works great!
