Just got her back from the body shop AND the mechanic.

Remember these little love marks?

Well now that I got them all fixed AND found a real camera. We have these:

I'm hoping for a future drop and some wheels, not really into the whole "monster truck" look.

Before you comment, please go easy on her as she is stock and still recovering from the surgery...and those dastardly mechanics left their grease stains and marks all over my car! Even scratched up my tint...

Its nice man, what you need now is a rear wing, 20 decals, and a coffee can muffler, and ull be set. Try not to floor it tho, the 500 HP ull have will he rough on your tires.

Haha, thanks for the feedback.

Yea, the fender (and hood too actually) is off, the fender is a little more yellow because it was taken off of a higher mileage Solara, so it's got alot of tire residue on it...

The car actually has alot of history behind it (and now I'm starting to think it's cursed) even though it barely has 40K on the odo. The previous owner was involved in an accident as well, they had the body panels replaced but not repainted.

"Technically" the shop is "supposed" to repaint the whole car to try and color match, but you can't really recreate that aged look with the Diamond Pearl paint, not to mention it's a very expensive paint, for all of the DWP owners out there I'm pretty sure you know what I mean when you take a really close look at your cars.

Yes, I did photoshop the pictures lol, but just the plates and the background so that the car sticks out more. I was planning on photoshopping a slight drop and some wheels but I'm very picky and a perfectionist to boot, so a picture probably won't be coming up anytime soon.

I was actually planning on getting a set of those stick-on ground effects for the car and autozone is selling those cherry bomb mufflers for about $90. I also saw a sale on those decorative license plate frames, I might just stop by the 'Zone and pick some up, my car will be so pimp I'm gonna get those spinning hubcaps and glue them to my wheels. Awesome.

"ADD"IT: Oh and the bill came out to about...4k...all paid for by the insurance, of course.

Finally...a camera. (56K Beware!)
