lexsterES.......I am number 8 on the list.

Until that point, I had never really given it much thought. As a computer nerd down here in Mobile, I dont get out much and when I do eyelids are a rarity. There are only 3 or 4 ES's down here that are owned by modders. Hopefully these things will look sweet because I am extremely concerned about avoiding anything that looks cheesy. Like the humongous yellow wing on that one guys car haha. Unique...

ROFL!!! there will be 2 ES's with eyelids rolling around this town. sup man if you see an emerald green ES that's me! i just installed the circle yellow foglights on my 95 ES bc the PIAA ion crystal was crap on the clear fogs. i may change it back when i get bored with the yellows.. but anyways maybe we'll bump into each other one day

Check out this thread...

He said he got the paint from http://www.PaintScratch.com .. I believe they have colors for the car part too, not just the bumper... and you can get them in spray paint.

if it's really this cheap to get them painted at a shop then it shouldn't be that bad of an extra cost. but i don't think it's going to be this cheap.

Your Lucky If You Can Get A Body Guy To Even Talk To Your For Ten, Twenty Bucks......the Cost Of The Paint Is About That Much .....your Definatly Looking At 160.....or More........you Also Gotta Figure In The Double Sided Tape...so Make 170 For The Mod ................. You Could Probably Get Your Self A Nice Cold Air Intake For That Much ......... Like I Said Expensive Minor Mod

cmon guys...any usedcar dealer has to have a touch up guy that comes by once a week in a old pick up or some sort of mobile.
companys like aerocoulors,autowizards,autoworks...ect...
surley they exsist in your area...look them up.

it wont take them but 10 minutes to shoot those things.

just like there is interior guys out there.....we have people come out and fill cigarette burns and fix cracked leather ect...
I'm getting my interior touched up for $45bucks
