Sucks about the crack and the money, but it will look great when it's done.

a lil update... there is a storm here right now... nothing to wory about... body shop is still working on my z..... and i got a funny story for everyone... well since i was at 1500 with parts and labor.... i decided F*ck it.... ill re shoot the whole car instead... guaranteed no more mismatches and no more soft shitty factory paint.... the paint i chose which was much more higher quality than the dupont chromabase which was PPG for the base and a PPG high glamour poly clear is being used on my car....

the body shop is moving really really slow on my car... but i told him... take your time because ill be an ******* if you cut corners....

i really care about my z and im not just some ordinary person that dont care.... all in all with that being said i spent 2600 now on the paint job.... i EXPECT that since i took it to probably one of the most expensive shops here... that they wont cut any corners.... and they shouldnt f*ck up because they are only shooting the outside and not changing the color... lets keep our fingers crossed guys

reason why i didnt change color this shop qouted me 4,000 which i almost had a heart attack lol

yah man it is...

update... z is finally ready for paint.... shes on jack stands right now.... volks are off the car... she is completely stripped.... i requested to strip her myself therefore no breaking tabs and snapping fasteners.... i have ended up with more than 50 bags of ziploc bags containing different screws and bolts for different parts of the car.... separating the mines and oem sport wing is definitely nerve racking.... black overlay for roof is stripped.... i added some black accents on the front and rear bumper as well as going for a GTR black A pillar.... btw the A pillars on our cars are really delicate... almost broke mine today

fenders are so perfect... still cant believe they got that stuff to fit right.... without cutting and readjusting it... should be done in this coming week or next..... im pretty damn excited.... i wish i brought my camera today but i was so swamped at work, when i got off i completely just went straight to the shop to finish stripping my car..... i am so broke guys right now... it hurts....

i really wish i had the rear jnext fender trims so i dont have any other thing to worry about painting..... but im gonna have to put that on hold for now....

Isamu · 05-26-2012, 01:18 PM

I can't wait bro

quagmire87 · 05-26-2012, 02:26 PM

Nice update! Can't wait to see the new look! Yeah being broke sucks lol but it will be worth it!

simota1 · 05-26-2012, 04:27 PM
