Welcome to the forums!!
How many miles does that car have? and has it been in a car crash, or is that just abuse in the pics?

205xxx Miles.. Put on its side in a ditch due to last owner drink driving, Kenwood 12"s and a Kenwood 500watt amp, Absolute usa 7" screen.
Engine was the first priority, has new head gaskets, thermostat, oil change, transmission was replaced by last owner, new starter etc, list goes on, and as for bodykit probably the one that andy's has.
Forgot to mention only mechanical problem is now an oxygen sensor..

Atleast you are fixing her up! Im not a HUGE fan on the aas kit. But if you fill some holes and do something to replace its gaudy mesh in the bumpers. It can be an okay kit.

He meant it as literally just spray painted it. No primer, no coating, no clear paint, just remove and spray.
Don't take it to heart man. It really looks bad to remove, spray, let dry, reinstall... plus it flakes off after a couple months.
Glad you did it the right way.

yeah, a lot of people just think they can throw a coat or two of spray paint on and it'll be good when in reality, it looks like shit. then it starts cracking, flaking and falling off then looks worse.

I'm with you man. I hate people that spray paint stuff. The p.o. of my car was like that. He spray painted the valve cover of the Grand Am without priming and I assume he didn't clean it as well. While it didn't flake, it did look tacky, and you could tell where the paint ran. Plus if something touched it, it would scratch.

I thought you were digging haha.. Nah I did a year of car mechanics and a year of paint and body in England, I do wanna remove the the center pieces and have them dipped tho. It currently has a marble-ish effect.
If anyones interested I'll post pictures of what it looks like now after a week of those last pictures.

Of course we're interested dude. We might give each other a hard time, but it's all in good spirit.
I'll be waiting for pics.
