Car accidents... The upside? [PICS]

So got side swiped a few weeks ago and it was a big mess.. Lady lied to the cops, insurance took forever, but alas I got my baby back.. Check her out!
Sorry in advance for the iPhone pics, proper photo shoot coming soon!

BEFORE




ACCIDENT





NEW LOOK!
(Rear splash gaurds didn't come in on time, being painted today and should be on by Monday!)






The color is from the new Subaru STI limited, it's called Satin White Pearl.. Looks amazing in the sun! Rear emblems were shaved, spoiler was shaved, side door moldings were shaved, Ionic front lip, authentic Nismo side skirts and the splash gaurds were put on!

No, all 4 wheels were powdercoated flat black.

WOW---what a transformation. Although I love a clean, shiny black car, you can never beat a white G. Definately good choice on that. Bodywork looks great too!

Shitty about the accident, that's awesome you are looking at it as a way to change your car to something else that you like though! I like that white too! Talk about going polar opposites with colors,lol.

Awesome choose of color. Black is the worse color to paint and blend. Love the white and black contrast did that with my magnum. Good job
