Welcome to MF!
Why are you repainting the car... do you have bad scratches/dents?

Yes the car has a few minor dings and scratches, but the re-paint is still a year or so away. I still have to get the front and rear facias and hood to complete the look we want. Once we get all the pieces then we'll get ready for paint. Right now the focus is going to be on performance and handling. We bought the car with 28K on it and it was a fleet vehicle.

The sky is the limit when it comes to modding these cars. There are numerous performance and appearance options, so you can really customize yours to be unique. Have fun and welcome!

Welcome to the forums.....

Manual or automatic?

Dings and paint swirling might not warrant a re-paint.....a good dent removal place, and a random orbital machine polisher might save you a lot of $$. Something to consider anyways....

CAI and custom tune would be a good performance mod.......especially for an automatic.

Wow! thats a lot of great looking Ponies on here. I can't stop looking at the gallery.

We are going to re-paint the car so that we can get one solid looking car. While it will not be a show car, we want people who drive, walk, or park next to it, to say "Daaaaaaaamn!, thats nice!!" or "Honey can we get one like this?!"

There are a lot of scuffs and scrapes, scratches, and a little fading (door guards).

The car is an automatic.

Thanks for looking and posting your replies.
