Default New Paint + Body Kit + More Sneak Peek

As some of you on here know my cars been going thru a massive transformation. I decided to paint the car along with installing a body kit, new brembo BBK, grille, and other stuff. THE CAR IS NOT FINISHED, I only have the car for the weekend, but here are some sneak peek shots THE PIX DONT DO THIS CAR JUSTICE. There is A LOT of work left before its done a lot needs to be sanded and glossed and buffed but i couldnt be away from my baby any longer

how are the molding edges on the windshield and rear window? Those are the most hated areas IMO.

any glass removal? Did any molding clips break in the removal??

is it a Lexus paint code? Ultrasonic Blue Mica?

The molding edges look good and i have no idea about the glass removal and clips and stuff cuz it was done at a body shop n i wasnt there.

As for the paint, no its not lexus, its actually House of Kolor paint. It looks totally different in person. The pictures dont do the color justice.
