Makeover Has Started
Finally got the car into the shop a couple weeks ago to get my front and rear bumpers and new hood painted. I had them cut the hold for the Shaker in the Foose/CDC hood and make the trim ring fit. They did an awesome job with that. I also had the antenna, emblem, SAT antenna and rear Roush spoilers holes welded shut. The rear trunk panel was smoothed out also. The biggest change is that I had the side quarter windows deleted and smoothed out and I had them blend in the Cervinis Type 2 Ducktail spoiler to the rear end. Check out the pics of their blending work. The blending work is not finished yet. I just stopped by the other day and he is still finishing off the bumper piece to make it flow better into the bumper.

Keeping it Windveil Blue! There is going to be satin black accents. All black plastic parts are getting sprayed black and cleared. I am still trying to decide on a hood stripe though. The shop is going to wait until the whole car is painted and cleared and then we will start looking at the hood stripe and anything else to get done.

Are you doing anything with the interior panels in the back where the window used to be?

I purchased the CDC Qtr Window Closeouts to fill them in for now. Maybe down the road I'll get the shop to fill in the plastic panels in the back and smooth them and paint them. For now I'll just keep it simple.

Hopefully within 2 weeks. The car was supposed to get primed and painted Windveil Blue this past week. I am going to go to the shop on Monday since I am off and see where they are.
I'll snap some more pics and post them this coming week.

Tell me about it. You don't know how long i have been waiting to get this work done. The car has been out of commission since around April. I haven't been able to bring it to any shows this year and haven't driven it too much since it kind of looked like crap!

Stopped by the shop today. Car was going into the booth this afternoon. Shop said that they are working on it all weekend and it should be ready for the second stage of paint. I have to go over with him about the hood stripe and other black paint. I'll snap some pics on Monday when I go there and post them.
One good news is that they might want me to bring my car to the 2013 Detroit Autorama. They are going to have a booth there and want to show off their work.

New pics as of today. Everything is coming along. Windveil Blue paint work is done except for the rear bumper. That should be done today. Went over hood stripe dimensions with the shop and they shold be getting the satin black sections painted this week. Hopefully by this time next week she is coming home finally!
