Car's progress.

First pics of the car after getting it back Friday. Repair of the damage is great, couldn't be happier. But, before you say anything, yes..it's two different whites..lol Everything that was repainted is a darker, duller shade of white than the rest of the car, he's going to repaint it for me this week to fix that. He painted it at 11pm and worked till 2 am so I can understand that mishap, he's going to take care of it for me so I'm not worried.

No more holes in the trunk from the spoiler

OEM GT foglights, tinting them today and wiring up the HIDs

Putting in the new struts, total pain in the ass because of a big inconvenience (Had to take an angle grinder to the nut on the top of the passenger side strut, nothing could get it loose...)

New front struts in with both of the isolators off of the springs, sits a bit lower now. Back is still how it was, I might leave the isolators in the back to keep that raked stance, not sure yet.

The car handles amazingly now, very stiff and controllable, couldn't be happier. Need to get it aligned soon before it goes back in for paint.

Awesome man. Glad you finally got the car back. The new stance, new hids, new filled holes all look great. Hard to tell the color difference in the pics.

Steeda97 07-05-2009 12:45 PM

looks good. get the front bumper holes filled in, and the fender holes too!

x04V6x 07-05-2009 12:45 PM

Looks good man! Glad to see it all back in one piece. You should definitely leaves the badges off and have those holes filled in too.

Glad to see your car coming back to life. Rock on.

zigzagg321 07-05-2009 02:15 PM

lookin good again Pcola.

spike_africa 07-05-2009 03:33 PM

Nice, 6k HID's look much better.

krenogin 07-05-2009 04:37 PM

agreed it looks great.. But i think its something to do with color blind people being able to notice shades of color easier. for example. my cousin is a painter, runs a shop and everything, and hes colorblind as well. If it werent for the paintcodes and workers he couldnt do it. And he does the best work around here. But i dont notice the shades being off.

PColav6 07-05-2009 04:39 PM

The lighting has a lot to do with the color difference. Tomorrow if it's not raining I'll take some shots to show you, it's not real noticeable in the day but when it's darker it's almost night and day.

And thanks guys, I'm glad to have it back together.

King 07-05-2009 06:25 PM

Looks great, PCola! I actually really like the rake it has now, subtle but aggressive.

whitestang04 07-05-2009 06:57 PM

Glad to see you got the car back. What shocks/struts did you end up getting?

mustangvsix 07-05-2009 09:18 PM

very nice! It's on it's way again.

WNRacing 07-05-2009 09:30 PM

Where's the blackout panel?

Looks really good so far Pee. Any news on how it might affect your insurance? Did you fight the bullshit ticket?

the gillz 07-05-2009 09:35 PM

looks great glad to hear everything is coming together for ya. I got one question not related to your car.....how is that floor jack in the pic working for you, i was gonna get that one from sears but all of the craftsman ones had shitty reviews like the valve was shitty and it barely clears jack stands and stuff......

yellowstang99 07-06-2009 01:59 PM

Lookin good! Should've just had the whole car resprayed white :)
