Like the title says.. Been saving up for quite some time now. Found a good painter who happens to be my co-workers dad. Checked out some of his work and it looks as though he does a nice job. So now I'm hoping to take it to him to be painted some time next week, along with some other things that will change it's entire appearance http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums/images/smilies/secret.gif

So I cleaned her all up and went to take some "before" pics. I got lucky and found an old, but great, Sears tripod that my parents had. So some of the pictures actually turned out decent. Thought I'd share.

I've always liked the look of the silver/gray firebirds :)

What color are you going to have it painted? I'm thinking about painting mine black at the beginning of next semester.

Same color.. Don't want to have to worry about the door jams, engine bay, etc etc. Saves me some cash as well.

Ah. Is there something wrong with your current paint job? I guess it could be a little glossier.... but it still looks great :)

If you wanna just send me the money you'd be putting towards the paint... ;)

Part of the reason why I like silver. You can't really see the flaws unless you look real close. The whole front bumper is spider webbing, the back bumper has a few dings where I've backed into crap, and check out the drivers rear 1/4 panel.. you can't miss that huge dark spot.

Thanks for the compliment though!

Ah, the dark spot is easy to see, now that you mention it--- can't tell about everything else.

My car (the one in my sig) has the paint chipping off :(
