That paint job had to cost you about 6k minimum.

That red is so refreshing to look at it. I'm debating a red color .. not sure whether to do a matte red or not. Love it, man! keep it up!

Thanks guys

I actually had planned to do the IS300 red but after comparing that red to the s2000 red. S2000 red was a little bit darker and richer looking. The IS red was just too bright for me

Here are the JP tail lights, trunk lip, oem chrome emblems, and the chrome trunk bar. I still have my rain visors and greddy front lip to put on

It was done the right way. They took off the doors and everything. The paint and labor came out to be a little under $2,000. If you are from the San Diego area and need a place for paint. Hit me up!








Here are the last photos I took of the car before I had dropped it off.

If you got that done for under 2k I might as well just shoot myself.
Here in Florida your not getting that quality work unless you spend 4k
On up and even then it still won't look as good as your job. Basically
What I'm saying is in Cali they have a love and passion when it comes to
Painting people's cars.

Mark i agree in florida it will cost more but you will deff get good quality. look at mad mods, or amazing autoworks. they both have a passion for cars
