that is true but he put the price on paper and signed it, but I understand what your talking about. The actual price is not too far from it.DOMO

You could always cut them out and put some tight mesh behind the holes

They are going to leave the holes black on the inside right?
You must be the go to guy at your job, cause you have been very helpful! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
details details details, oh yes I told them to leave the vents unpainted, but they will smooth it off a little.

You should also color match the door handles. And have them paint the side mirror brackets glossy black to match your B pillars.

Looking good man, you should have them pull those door moldings and fill the holes while they're at it.

Hey thanks for reminding me, I'll call them right now. I'll let you know what they say.

I saw the car today and they wher finishing up with the bodywork. I had to remind them to shave the "doggy door" so I can put the Nissan Skyline badges on. We also did a test fit of the new Aero bumper, perfect! Then I clarified how I wanted the rims to look.

Has anyone ever painted the "stock" calipers gold before. Or is that a laughable modification? At which I will wait for the aftermarket set, but that won't be for awhile after all this.

The car is sitting in front of the paint booth as your reading this. It will be painted tomorrow, set all day wed and thursday buffed out. Friday I will be picking it up!

well he said that will have to require welding and he said that he is not willing to do that. Welding requires taking the door apart, and regular filler will just crack in about a year. Considering that the car in front of the paint booth as your reading this I will have to leave this mod to G35Papa to try out.

I'm spending your money again G35Papa!
