base coat and clear. he used a gallon of clear on it to give it 4 coats of clear so in 3 weeks he can buff out most of the orange peel. can't wait to see it then. it ran me 2500. i got quoted as high as $6000 but luckily i found someone to do it for less and I like how it came out

Little update

With help from Pistachio on finding a location to get the exhaust tucked we ended up at Valley Muffler in La Puente Ca. they cut the exhaust before the flange on the cat and ended it at the start of the 2 tail pipes. I didnt Listen to Pistachio on removing the rear resonators since i like the car quiet but now they hit when I dump it to the floor. I should have listened lol O well.. here are some pics







after that was done I went back with Pistachio to finally cut the shock towers Pistachio was cool enough to help me out with this whole process even tho we bent 2 drill bits in the process the turn out was great
















And this is as low as shes gonna sit unless further modifications are made.. which I don't plan on doing.. im happy with this




On another note.. I had a rattle in my trunk... and I found the culprit




contacting bagriders now.. see if they will cover it or if airlift will cover it

ended the weekend at Import Stand Off in San Dimas. Me and Pistachio were the only 2 Ls400s there lol
