Damn that thing looks good, standing or rolling. Question for anyone; Is it legal to tint the taillights out there? I really like the blacked out look.

repaint is like 300-400, get on it lol.
i need to redo my front and rear bumpers at some point, probably when i move to a place that isnt similar to mars in surface composition.

Nice...

Tinted tails are a no-no. VC has specifics on visibility-obstructions and NTHSA has bulb output requirements as well. 5-0 depending on officer may not care but technically it could be one more item to add to a equipment violation.

A spray job varies on quality. Beto's has done ours in multiples and for that they've had mercy on me since it was out of pocket. Have to check your favorite body guy. Then get a clear bra put on. For you guys with dark colors, no worries. On my pearl, the clear bra yellows in about a year some odd. I used to have it redone but I just leave it now.

betos is fine for stock work, but anything custom and they either won't touch it or charge an ungodly amount.

even their cash out of hand pricing is just stupid, insurance work only for me.
all my out of pocket paint gets done at Platinum

Beto's recently sprayed and replaced both of the bumpers on dad's Corolla, price was good. I'd go to Platinum...just a bit of a drive so it is a time-distance issue. If Vincent doesn't mind the drive, definitely go.

I want to shave the trunk emblems but if I do that, I'll mono tone the car. With almost half the car done...doesn't end. LOL....

You guys better get on the mods now...Pursuit is approaching. I anticipate seeing lots of LS love this time around.
