Put her in the body shop about 3-4 weeks ago
this is as of today 10/21/06
shaved spoiler holes, 3rd brake light, and antenna hole
all panels are going to be painted separately and all are blocked and wetsanded
rear quarters I previously cut for clearance for my massive 18x10.5 -26mm offset :eek4:
doors are pulled to paint separately; rear quarter windows, and front window moulding are pulled as well

here we go...
paint is being finalized and is currently baking here in the pictures
the pix are fuzzy because I'm taking them through the dirty paint booth glass
baking at 140 degrees, yeah i was sweating when I got done taking them pictures..lol
First shot of the roof
A pillar, you can kinda see the pearl in it, the lighting sucked in there and my flash didn't do much for me
Smooth trunk lid
you can see the pearl a little bit better in this pic of the front bumper
thats all i got for now, he should start reassembling everything tomorrow once everything is cured. When its done put together, a final buff should clear out any trash-which was very little in the paint
