I thought it was over spray too..turns out its actually a clear plastic they put over the wheels to protect them from paint..i just havn't peeled it off yet, and yeah everyone whose seen the car has pointed out the headlights, before you couldn't tell since the whole car looked older, but now that really shows

Fresh paint is overated, I wish mine was flat black still so it would only take 5 minutes to clean it.

Car looks good, grab some better pics if you can. Still factory color I assume?

To answer all questions..
I had a local body shop do it, quality is actually really good, they sanded, painted and clear coated. obviously its not perfect but for 400$ i cant complain and it looks damn good in person, few minor minor imperfections, but then again its a 15 year old car with 130,000 miles on it. It runs fantastic and now looks great so im happy.

As for the color i stuck to red, but I went with a red with a bit more POP to it, ut I stayed very very close to the factory color. When i first got the car it was pretty much pink because it had faded so bad. Ill upload some before and after pics, the iphone quality pics arnt great, so ill see if i can find my digital camera, its supposed to rain again today so ill try to get them up soon
