So i found a local shop here in Chicago that can do the Seibon TS hood for 675 shipped and everything and i found a really good body shop here, auto werks (formerly Body Werks) and they can paint it in the leave the vents/slots carbon style i want for 400.

So I'm looking at 1075 so the whole thing, is that a lot for the paint? i don't have any idea on that.

Still not sure it i want to start with this car really, i mean it looks really nice stock. There is a Hot Import Night here March 31st, but the guy told me they just did a G with a custom CF roof, shaved door handles, white with a gold flake paint, sounded awesome, and i bet there is no way i'd ever beat that guy lol so i dont know if it's even worth getting started.

just don't know

 

youre paying almost 200 more than what i'm paying for my seibon ts hood

nonetheless, DO IT. it'll look sick. what color is your g?

 

Ivory Pearl

where are you getting your hood from? these were the cheapest prices i could find

 

DO IT

the contrast will look so ill

 

where are you getting your hood for that price?

 

ooo do it! but i think the price might be a lil too high for the paint

 

i have friends

btw, carbonltd can get that ts hood to you for 650 shipped. 25 bucks is 25 bucks.

btw, if the shop is local...why would they need to ship it to you?

 

i dunno?

675 was just the price he told me and i got my brakes from them and they are pretty nice guys so thats okay with me. i just don't know if it worth it, i feel if i start i wont be able to stop, i know i want some rims this summer, but on my last car i did the hood, wing, rims, etc. and i was able to sell the stuff, not sure if i could pull that off again, as it was, lost quite a few dollars.


Edit I just read the note i wrote and it was $650, i was mistaken

 

people are always looking for wheels here. as long as you buy the right products, youll be able to sell them with few to no problems.

 

i was thinking a dark gold/bronze 5 spoke

 

I've got them for $650. Ask your local shop how long their wait is.

Yea, I will do that.

I saw it last not on a car here in Evanston, very nice

 

If your local shops wait is too long, I've got them in stock.

 

Alright, I'm still rolling around in my head if I'm going to start on this car or not, the more i look at stuff the more i want to, but then comes the more money i'd have to spend...

I'll be getting paid next week, so we'll see
