My Car had a little plastic surgery
Sorry guys, I’ve been busy all weekend… I did pick up the car yesterday but had to go straight to upholstery shop (Chuys) to have a few things buttoned up (primarily seat belts sewn back in and some other final details in the headliner/pillars)…
There are a few things that need adjusting… I wont bore everyone with details, but it’s not 100% yet…
I like everything on the car – except I’m a little uncertain about the hood cowl – the lines are a little harder than they looked when primer (paint accentuates everything much more)… I might go back eventually and have them rounded and soften up later (you’ll understand when you see pics)…
I haven’t had time to take any pics yet – it will probably be a while before I get final pictures posted… I’ll see if SouthbayGsedan took any pics after paint and post 1 or 2 teasers… there will be quality pics up later.

no... Chuy (and his guys) were very accommodating - they did most of the work while the car was @ body shop... they removed everything, covered with suede at their shop and brought it all back to AE for install - AE painting all the plastic pieces... I only had to take the car to Chuy's shop for about 3 hrs Sat afternoon for a few final touches.
Somewhere in the 2 month process I lost my car cigarette lighter… anyone want to sell me theirs? Or trade a set of DG sidemarkers +$20 for their lighter?

isn't it standard? $5 on ebay - http://tinyurl.com/msegh8
the cool thing is he had them skim over the seams in the metal so its all smoothe. its more work than just simply filling in the holes after the wire tuck, but it really makes a difference in the final product 
you know why

here are a few teaser pics - courtesy of SouthbayGSedan (thanks Darren):
I'll add some good full body ones in the first post once I get a photoshoot done.

btw, paint the black weather stripping on the bottom part of the doors.
