Default GS respray

little build thread i work at a big production collision shop i been knocking this stuff out little by little on lunch break everday for a couple weeks
going to paint it back silver except a nissan code and the roof gloss black
all the archs are pulled some fronts quite a bit over stock
im hoping i can spray it next weekend
and the works need tires after i paint then ill put them back on
im buying a pair of head lights and a grill
looking for some feed back on aftermarket parts i messed with vws my younger years dont know where is a good place to start looking for them.
also was curious about the ls460 look rear bumper if anyone could tell me
on to the pics







a couple cars that i have painted so yall dont think im some hack

That brown color I made off our old toner rack at work it's not a factory color sorry and thanks for the help on that rear bumper I'll have to keep my eye out for a 460 rear

Thanks for all the comments I'm used to being on forums where everyone just nit picks and hates.
