I love mine, like saddleup said just make sure they go together well if not it will look crappy. if you cant decide on colors have a girl help you...lol. and to answer your questions in the pm the front end cost around 2000.00 the grills are from mr.bodykit and the rear panel is stock I just painted it ....the same for the lights, I painted the front markers and the tail lights... in total I spent around 4500.00 i think but thats with me doing all the work and my buddy doing the spray... so if you were to take your car to the shop and drop it off and say do all the stuff I did it would prob cost around 7000.00.

Lol......he's is telling you all right~! Seriously....look at his car. It looks great. I would have done two tone myself. There isn't anything unfinished-looking about it...looks very custom.

06elnr- I finally found a paint and body guy that I believe that I can trust and they come recommended by a friend of a local car club. I visited them and they are very fair (labor per hr-$55) and they use PPG paint which is already what my previous paint guy uses. They gave me a tour and seemed excited to work on the car. Anyway point being I think shaved door handles and poppers are in the future and the whole car will get cleared and wet sanded and buffed! (want the paint the same throughout) Damn orange peel left on the parts that have not rec'd paint will be a thing of the past! Its not bad but I see it and the overall look of the car will change for the better IMO!
