not sure why the shop took it off. the owner of the place works on hot rods and he says he always takes the front and rear windows off when painting cars don't know why...

Maybe I have you confused with another sedan, but weren't you already matte black with pin striping?

Congrats on having the guts to do this... It is hard to tell from the pictures and she is still a bit dirty with prints on her... How do you like it so far? looks like there is some good potential there and your car looked cool before the paint as well!

Its just a guess (but when I stop by a paintshop tomorrow I'll ask) but I'm thinking it'll look cleaner as they were able to get to the edges? maybe also help prent flaking or peeling later on? Again, just a guess.
