Poor LR Coupe could sure use a whole lot of TLC! If you need an engine cover you can come pick mine up for $25=, it won't fit on SLICK because of my 1/2" spacer. Give me a PM if interested! Your paint abilities are pretty good, should have painted your whole car and the taillights LR rather than black crackle. My opinion....

Is it just the pictures, or does the repainted body panels not match the original panels at all? Also it really looks like that paint needs a full polish, the condition seems terrible!

But glad to see you showing this beat up car some love and slowly getting it back to decent condition!

Nice progress, but still needs work.

First off, the tails have to go. No offense, but the painted tails look hideous. Stock 06 tails would look much better along with 06 up headlights. At the minimun, the front bumper could use an OEM lip or the 06 sport bumper before you get the whole car painted. Actually, do a spoiler delete when you get it painted too. Also, not a fan of the fenders either.

Keep us posted.

Paint front bumper, headlight housing and mirror bases, get rid of the black around the fenders just leave the mesh on the vents black
