iPhone Pictures.... I had the whole car repainted (Nismo Front, OEM Side, OEM Back). However - the Body shop I went to was going to charge me $1,000 to paint and put the +Ings Side Skirts on. So eh - I didn't go through them.

So I went to a good guy I know in Orlando and he put the side skirts (prep & paint), and MOLDED the rear Nismo add-ons for me - and repainted the entire rear bumper again. He also painted the center of the front bumper & the carnards black. (The other shop only painted the front bumper yellow) He was going to mold the side skirts for me but I did not have time since I live in Miami and was going home the next day. He did everything in literally half a day. He had to mold on the add-ons because the fitment was too bad (could not attach to rear bumper since it did not even curve to the rear bumper shape) (Thank You Auto Infantry ) +Ings Side Skirts fit is ok - just ok.

Final Price? 650. Finished in less than half a day? Yes. Driving home the next day in perfect weather condition? Priceless Tell me what you think.

Enjoy the pics...



































Say Hi

He is in Orlando but if you guys would like - he has a "mobile" shop (trailer) where he goes around and paint people's car. He does this for the dealerships (Carmax, Honda, etc) in the Orlando Area. I can give you his contact info because I asked if he would come down south to Miami to paint people's cars. (He can tackle 3 or 4 cars a day. Once the paint is drying on one, he will work on the next, and etc.) Or you can go to Orlando and chill for a day while he does your car. haha. PM me if you want his info. I want to help him out since he hooked me up with a VERY NICE JOB.

Nice mold job! V2's and roadsters flow very well! Only thing i would change is the rear wing with something more subtle like oem. Nice job

not a big fan of that color but the work done is A+. Very nicely done sir. I like the mold job. It looks a whole lot better than sticking those sides with glue.

awesome car...but painting the calipers was a mistake. just get an added piston brake rather than pretend it is one. It takes away from the overall look. JMO.

Thanks. The spoiler is actually molded onto the trunk. So eh, can't get rid of it now.
