New stripes and bumper installed

Found a great shop in Houston to do the work for me. Believe it or not, Baker Jackson Nissan. Ordered a Shelby GT bumper from Ford and then I had my entire car striped tungsten grey. My Cervini billet grille is backordered, so I'm still waiting for that. I LOVE the results! So glassy! (That might've been a pun)











Can't stop grinning

That is going to look sweet!

I'm alittle surprised to see them tape up some much stuff instead of just removing it. Tail lights, faus gas cap, third brakelight, spoiler. My painter removed the hood and trunk to paint.

I wasn't going to argue. He's a friend of mine, giving me a cash price, terrific results, I'm thoroughly satisfied. (But yeah I would've done the same thing)

Looks very very impressive. I too was wondering why they didn't remove the lightbuckets, trunk lid, take the bumpers off. But if he did a good job, and the results after they take the tape off are good, then its all good. Please take LOTS of pictures outside in the sun. Can't wait to see how that Tungsten Grey pops in the sunlight. Your going to turn ALOT of heads now that you striped your car, trust me!

Thanks man! I dont know why he didn't take off my rear bumper, but I'm thoroughly pleased with the job. He seems to know what he's doing so I just go went with it.

He took the spoiler off to paint it, so that's a pic with it reinstalled.

Okay so I encountered a 24 hour setback. Ken calls me up and says that the SGT bumper doesnt screw in to the fender walls, so I went down to see him after work to resolve the problem. We concluded that it wasn't a vital flaw, so I'm just gonna leave it how it is. (Has anyone encountered this problem?) And since the billet grille from Cervini's is still backorderd, we're gonna drill a couple holes so the old sixer grille will fit temporarily. But here are some pics of the stripes out in the sun, it has not been waxed or polished yet, so I'm only giving yall a preview!
