Default Just got her back from the paint shop

New to CL, this is my first thread ever. Here's a pic of my ride that just returned from paint. Just the beginning. A lot more to come.

A buddy and I did the body work and paint. Spent $700 on paint, labor and paint booth were free since my buddy knew the guy who owned the shop.

Thanks, I was debating on painting the lip white or black. Chose to go white. I think that was the best chose

Thanks, I only used these wheels to drive to the paint shop and back. Will post more photos later, when I put the new wheels on and the bags installed.
