with or without hook ups???

Same color or different color???

How much time wet sanding and re clearing????

If a different color do you want door jams and engine bay???
If not are you retarded ???

If a different color do you want the windows removed???

What type of paint are you using????

What type of clear???

Any Metallic???

Pear or straight clear???

High Gloss???

thats hella clean. i agree on the TYC's being maybe red overlayed. blue batmobile has some good looking overlays for those lights.

but car is clean as hell none the less.

i would have liked that "hot lava" color for an xA release series.

are 90w strobes bright like emergency services strobes or something different? pics of the strobes?

Door jams yes, I think I'd keep the bay black if I go yellow.

Not if they don't have to be.

At least as good as what's on there but I'd supply it.

Probably not but I'd have to see the different yellow samples with it.

At least what we have now.


Never really put to much thought into it before but I guess there's a lot to think about. I want to know what a paint job like the factory would cost? I know factory isn't the best but just wondering.

ummm color change without the engine bay on a yellow whis is a fairly easy color to do with a good clear and standart gloss and no metallic you'd like at $3500 and up depending on the area you live and the reputation of the shop

6 coats of Kandy at 200 a pint, base coat, 3 coats clear... engine bay painted black, widebody kit install should of ran me about 8 grand. I paid a little more because of some mistakes the first shop made and didnt know how to fix. I also did all the pulling of rubber stripping, windows, door sills, heads and tails, door handles myself. I also had some custom pinstripping done that you cant see in those pictures.

The strobes are for emergency use only, heh. They are brighter then the bulbs my county uses.

OK, I realized paint is not for me. That's just way too much money that I'd rather put into performance, carputer, bodykit, rims, and/or a nice used car.
