A few words of advice, while the car is still at the body shop check if they can rig some sort of heat shield on your rear skirt. I have a v1 kit and my exhaust burnt my fresh paint. Hope this helps, hate to see that bad a$$ paint job get damaged....
Car looks wickid in that color, nice choice.

Why did they just base it and then take the car out of the paint booth? Why didn't they clear it after basing it? Is it for color match or are they taking the car somewhere else to clear it?

Once you basecoat something you only have 24 hours at the most to clear coat it, unless they plan on wetsanding it, then rebasing it, then clearcoating?? I understand they are going to wet sand the clear coat and then polish. Just curious. Looks really good by the way.
