those headlights are on Steroids! awesome

 

wow those lights look great.. Glad to see your still modding after all these years lol...

I didn't know your repainting the whole car... Same color?

 

Once a modder, always a modder.

Even my winter beater (2005 4Runner) had to be modded - I did a retro Bi-Xenon projector headlight mod on that as well.

Yes, same color. The shop guaranteed that after they're done with the repair, it will be impossible to tell the car was in an accident - hence painting the whole car to ensure the paint matches 100%.

It would have been a lot more expensive to change the color, that's why I didn't bother changing it.

 

I agree once a modder always a modder... The silver looks great.. i didn;t think you were changing colors...

 

The car is ready for the paint job - its taking forever as my car keeps getting bumped.

 

Sanding stage

 

Did you get some fender work done too?

 

Yes. My 20's were rubbing, so I wanted to get that fixed and had the fenders pulled a bit.

It looks like the sanding is almost done. Here are some more pics.

 

Taped up and ready for the paint job finally

 

Looking good keep the updates coming. I work in the collision industry for many years and just by the looks of the pictures that shop is doing a outstanding job.

 

Looking forward to seeing the final work done. With the fender work, are you dropping it a tiny bit more?

 

Thanks for the feedback! This is great to hear.

No, the whole purpose of pulling the fenders is so that I don't rub anymore. If I drop it any further (which I can't anyway as its not an adjustable suspension I have on there now), it will start rubbing again.

 

First coat of paint done!!!!!! Woohoooo............ its been a while but its finally starting to look great now!

 

Very nice! Can't wait to see it all put together again1

 

Shiny!!!!!
