Default its raining game in northern california

im still kinda new to the site im on here and there but i just feel like sharing the GS with ya, i didnt get to take a pics of it when i first got it but believe it was a wreck and a hot mess, quater panel damage, frame damage, front end damage i mean for 600 what do i expect? but anyways i ended up fixing it all up and painted (garage) it starfire pearl.



suspension (megan LP) been riding on it for almost a year and still no problems



bought some 350z wheels, took off the tint, jdm hid headlights and fog nothing much



thats how it looked 1 1/2 week ago, then i got to a little accident to i said **** it this gave me a reason to do my whole car over. so for the past week this is how it sits





sanded down the bumpers and got good condition used rear bumper



sanded and took everything out the doors, window, trim, handles, etc



gunna polish out the window trims



wanted to see how the paint gunna turn out, and im pretty happy with it



thats i for now ill update this later tonight.

Looks great how hard was it for you to get the outside trim off the doors> i wanted to do something similar with Polishing the aluminum. do you just have to break of the plastic clips after taking of the mirror and how do you do that. can you help me
