Finally, painted the car myself in my garage. no more spray paint!
total spent $440 for primer, PPG paint and PPG clear coat.
not too bad. took me a week. still needs to be color sanded.

That is really, really, ridiculously good looking. I think I may get my dad (has a gun and some experience) to spray my car since I've been inspired by how nice yours came out.

Are those MSport side skirts or what?

most people don't understand the huge amount of work that goes into repainting your car.

nice color, nice job, but uh not to be rude, that wing throws the whole damned thing off and should be disposed of....or sent back to the F&F movie set.

the front bumper is the bn sports copy from raceonusa. i just cut the bar in the middle.
about the spoiler, i cant find anything better for around 200 bucks from ebay. i'm a poor student.u guys can give me some advises.

looks like the same kit as mine...vertex???? i like how you kept the roof black. i can't wait to get my rear bumper and then i can finally paint mine. i think i will be sticking to the stock blue color though.
