Been there done that. They are full of it.
Yes I am, I go back and forth a lot but more so than not I am in Colorado.
I also am horrible about getting online for anything anymore for some reason but I have been trying to get on more. If you need me right away, my phone number is in my signature as well.
What do you need done?

And don't mind the gun rack install or the black subaru. Those are my old car.

Okay, I will need to look at the bumper in person judging from the drivers side, the skirts aren't a big deal but we can address the fitment of them to the car before I take them to paint.
I'm running the numbers for what materials will be needed right now, as far as labor on this thing goes I was expecting it to be the green ait stuff but we'll see if we can get the front bumper to fit better before we get at it. I may have to do the same thing I did on the red rx8's rear bumper and build tabs to get it to form correctly and hold its shape but fixing the fiberglass and that can be done at the same time. Don't push too much on it with the fiberglass broken like it is, it will make the fitment of the side marker worse.
I'll call you after I look at it and make some notes

hey chance, what's the price range for a complete spray of a 2nd gen rx7. i will be fixing any dents and imperfections my self once it warms up here. I'll sand it down and leave it bare metal so you can just mask it and primer/paint. I'll also remove everything (trim mirrors ect.) I'm looking to paint it factory red. here is a picture if it helps.
thanks.
thanks.
