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.

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

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.

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.
