Poor thing looks awful.

Damn, it broke my heart to do this to my car. But it'll be worth it in the end I'm sure.

Oh, you don't like altezza's? Too bad, your gonna get a good look at mine.

You really need to do something with those skirts. I hate seeing really nice paint go over skirts that are just slapped on. Look at the lines on the skirt and the molding on the door. Nothing lines up.I did that with my first kit and thought it looked good but the way my skirts are now makes a world of difference. Other then that your car looks good. .02

BTW- I know exactly how you feel. i've had 2 complete color changes so far. Started as stock black, Then Baby blue, And now this. It is heartbreaking but its worth it.

You going to keep her red? If so you just repainting it the stock red or you giving it a little spice?

BTW I know how you feel, when I had mine painted from the stock black to the silver it is now I was freaking out! But luckily it all turned out ok!

No I'm doing 3 colors actually. All House of Kolors stuff. Candy Apply Red, Orion Silver, and Vivid Black. I have a graphic in mind, but I'll see how it comes out. I also plan on molding the side skirts, the line on the door, and the rain channels on the roof. Also kicking around the idea of shaving the back-up lights, but I'm not sure about that yet. I just want to get it done and all pretty again. LOL!
