Well.. The paint job and getting a couple dents out I only paid like 1200 and I know car needs lowering. 1 thing at a time! Lol. And bumper came from an sc that was cut for intercooler that's why it looks different. It was painted at maaco and I know maaco is garbage don't flame me for using them I know. They did ok work for the $ slight overspray on a couple things I was going to fix up on my own. Thanks to all who like it though.. Also have front license plate I ordered to cover gap in front

Hey not bad bro, don't beat yourself up too much over the paint...there's nothing on your car that can't be fixed!
Take your time, good luck with your build and keep us posted.

Definitely looks better than the old gold color! Are you planning on getting 97+ rear/skirts to match? You're off to a good start!

Maaco is COMPLETE garbage...but i totally understand why you went to them, its hard to stomach a 4k+ paint job from a more reputable and better quality shop. It's especially hard to justify that kind of money when the car is barely worth that amount. TBH I don't think it looks that bad. GL on the next set of mods!
