I'm psyched decided to get my entire car painted '94 Celica ST Coupe, and get factory sideskirts installed (found at salvage yard). Wasn't sure if I was going to stay with factory white, but decided not to change too much and went with Diamond Pearl White, used on the lexus/toyota line for a few years. Will post a picture when I get it back. biggrin.gif

Need to save up and get new springs/shocks/struts/mounts. Also will get the caliper and rear drum cover painted when the suspension work is being done.

How much is that going to cost you? I need a paint job bad!

I had mine painted about 6 months ago. (Hit an ice bank in the winter, scraped the side and banged up the fender. I also had a big dent from a half dozen orange barrels in the middle of the highway that jumped in front of my car, but thats another story) Looks like glass now. (pics in profile)

Anyways, the total came out to around $3000ish. I don't know the total exactly because of the new fender and the custom hood (carbon fiber with black racing scallops). Mixing in what the insurance paid, and friend of the body shop's owner discount, I only shelled out a couple hundred.
