I just dropped Black off at the shop to get the hood, spoiler, side skirts and bumper smoothed out and re-painted back to Black Mica.

I have also been switching back and forth between V-Power plugs and Irridiums because of some pinging issues. The Irridiums seem to really help get the little bit of extra power the car is looking for when it's pinging.

She seems to be running great again overall! Once the paint is done, I will take some good photos and get them up.

...oh yeah...mud flaps installed!

Black is Back!!

Postby ProjectBlack » Tue Nov 15, 2011 9:14

She's back to normal now, but just a bit better!

I got:
  • the hood and spoiler re-touched and cleared
  • the bumpers and side skirts sprayed and cleared
  • a few minor dents PDR'd
  • The headlights were cleaned up and he put a coat of clear on them. SUPER CLEAN!!
  • and the guy put a clear bra on the front part of the hood


He also polished everything including all my black trim and my grills.

All for $600!!!

She looks pretty damn good. Better than she has in a while.

What is the name of the shop? My car has issues with paint/body I would like resolved, and that price is great if they do good work.

That is fairly close to me. I will have to talk to him. I would actually want a full paint job, but that price seems like he would be reasonable.

Thanks!
