Default Got car back from the shop - Pics

Just wanted to share a few pics of the car. I got it back last Thursday and I'm very happy with the results to say the least. I will post a few pics of before and after. I got rid of the spoiler, pin stripes and scratches. The following got painted: trunk lid, rear bumper, right 1/4 panel and passenger door. The match is flawless! Check out the pics:

Before:




After:

It looks great! Very smart to take advantage of it being in the shop for one issue by getting them all fixed. I do suggest you get another "L" emblem in the rear at the least. It looks to naked and big/wide/flat without it in my opinion. The black pearl L would look great there.

Thanks for the compliments fellows.
Debonair: The shop were going to replace the emblems, but were charging around $175 for them, so I told them not to buy them and I'll have my insurance pay me so I can buy the pearl black emblems. I like them much better. I'll be adding a trunk lip so its not too plain.

Again, thanks for all the compliments...I really like the new look much better. I'll be dropping it soon, so it would like a lot nicer then.
