I had them put on the kit (ss3 front, stock sides, hiro rear, and trd wing), shave sidemarkers/antenna, and the color has been changed to royal sapphire pearl. overall I'm really happy with how it turned out. anyway, here are the pics. click for the full image. - Pieter

I got everything done for 1500. honestly the work isn't perfect but its well worth what I paid. like I said I'm really happy with how it turned out (and how much I paid)

and Supersprynt, the pictures are decieving. it looks nothing like nogaro blue (please don't hurt me)

yup, its the supra color. and they did the door jams, under hood (as far as they could reach), trunk etc.

I'm pretty anal about this stuff but there is minor overspray on some of the trim, places where the clear is noticably thin, and some chipped paint in the door jams/sunroof. its understandable because they were in a bit of a rush to get it done but I have the managers word he will correct these problems if I leave the car with him for a couple days.

also pics of the rear are pending. I had my buddy bring his camera over but for some reason he didn't take any of the rear. go figure.

But since my Celi's paint is pretty much brand new inside the engine compartment and doors, I'll repaint it black. But the Supra is the one getting the RSP...and that was in the plans for over a year -------------------- Past - 7A-FTE: Will never forget you Present - 3rd Gen 3S-GTE: Swap in progress QUOTE (SinisterSinner @ Dec 19, 2009 - 10:52 AM) I dont want to even think of turbos, they blow up way too often...

ghostdog View Member Profile Enthusiast Joined Aug 29, '02 From ny to philly Currently Offline Reputation: 0 (0%)	thanks again for all the kind words. I agree that projectors would really clean it up but right now its probably a bit out of my price range. but as always donations are welcome
