Got my car back!

finally got my car back. it took 2 weeks to complete but im happy with the results
i had my car repainted completely so im not allowed to wash it with soap or rub it, all i can do is spray it with a hose to prevent bird crap and tree sap from eating my paint.
unfortunately i took the pics with my cellphone, but i will be buying a real camera almost slr worthy!
hope you like it!

for some reason the last picture wont show thumbnail
but its there!

keep in mind that i just sprayed it with a hose because it was dirty. but in a couple more weeks i will be able to clean it properly and i should have the new camera by then, so i can take some real high quality pics

also at that time i didnt have my front splash guards in, but now it is in, and it lines of with the bumper real nicely

oh and i live in vancouver bc, so i have to have a front license plate, but atleast my body shop guy managed to put a couple of L brackets so it fits in my bumper real good and sterdy

the paint was cheap for me because i had a hit and run claim on my stock front bumper, and rear bumper (2 sperate claims) also when i was at harrison hot springs for a friends b-day over the weekend, my car got keyed, the whole right side (fender to fender) so i had a claim for that aswell

since i was getting kuruma bumper, i waited till it came, then used the claims to paint the front bumper, right side of the car(including door), and replace my rear bumper

in total including the claim i spent about 4000 to repaint the car
normal price would have been about 6 or 7 grand

this is an 06 sport coupe g35, the spoiler, sideskirts and the tail lights are all stock, i was looking into getting the impul spoiler, but it was like 1100, so i decided not to.

i also have bluebat's gtr3 headlight and tail light overlays, but i decided not to put them on aswell

so if anyone as an 06 g, and wants em, lemme know, prolly sell em for half the price, i paid 120 for it, 96 for the overlays. 2 dollars for shipping, and 22 for the cost of sending em through western union, so i'll sell em for 60

Not bad at all... I need to repaint the front of my car, rest is decent enough. Makes feel a bit better about it heh. Rock chips FTL. Also I'd grab that tail overlay except I have an '05.... darn.
