It looks like the door handles were not removed for this paint-job, and also, why did the shop paint the chrome molding on your rear bumper and then tape up the chrome moldings on the sides and the front bumper?? Just looks a little weird. And why not replace the ripped lower molding on the drivers door? Are your door jambs painted? Post a picture of your door jambs. Did you get this done at MAACO? Im just curious thats all. How much did you pay for this paint JOB?/?/?/?/?/? Please dont say 299..........................

Wow man, what was the point of your post? To nitpick the car?

1. The post wasn't about his paint job.

2. You must have eagle eyes to tell the door handles weren't removed but congrats on your vision.

3. They didn't tape over the trim, if you have ever had a GS rear bumper painted you would know the chrome trim piece is not reusable once removed. I'm surprised you could see the door handle's not being removed but not the fact there is a groove in the bumper for the chrome trim to sit in, it's not painted over.

4. His door jams may be pink, who really cares?

5. Your not curious, your trying to insult the guy and then come off like you mean well. Save the act, no one wants to hear you dissing the guy so save it for somewhere else.

If you post maybe have something constructive to say, like give him advice on HOW to fix the doorjamb molding since you seem to know a lot about it instead of giving him crap because it's torn. Maybe it happened after he got it painted? Who knows, who cares. If your going to post at least be constructive.

The back is sagging too much than the front, maybe raise the back a couple clicks. Other than the car is perfect!

Sounds like you know this fellow. And are you confirming that the door handles were NOT removed prior to paint? As far as the bumper goes from where Im sitting it looks like the chrome strip is still in the groove and has been painted over. If im wrong I swear to GOD I will say Im sorry.

Im not acting, Actors make a lot of money. If I had money I would be over in the LFA forum nit picking some other rich bastards car.Im not trying to be insulting I just hate to see a Boogered -up paint job on a nice car.But like I said if I am wrong Ill say sorry. Now lets see some Hi-Res pics of that showroom shine!
