Default Progress so far

Here are some pictures of the progress on my car. The damage has been repaired and the bodykit should be ready to go on tomorrow. The new wing isn't painted yet but it should be on before next weekend along with my new wheels and brake upgrade.

Yeah I was lucky to get the car in when I did. But it gave me time to figure out the next steps in the car build process.

I'll be sure to check on his work when I get my car back. Having had some cosmetic damage repaired along with my body kit install meant I've got a ton more to check but no worries.

We will see how they do.

It looks good from what I can see.

But as alvin mentioned, definitely check and recheck and check again everything they are working on and your car in general. You are paying for a service, and you should get what your paying for. Dont let it leave there until you are SURE everything is right.

He ended up giving me my car back at 11PM on Friday and I was leaving in a couple hours to go to the airport. So yeah needless to say I wasn't too happy and just picked it up (in the dark because he has no lights in his driveway) I never doubted his work because he seems so professional but when I found the dent I was really pissed. Oh well lesson learned I guess.
Exactly, I completely understand. I have had a couple very similar issues like this from nissan themselves... but what can you do. They never do anything wrong, its always the customer =)

Just in general though anytime you have some place work on your car, I always like to give my car a full look around and just make sure nothing major has happened and everything is in good working order and as close to it was as when I dropped it off!

Well I got the car back. No pictures yet but everything looks good. I think I'll just need to save up and get the whole car painted next Summer. MOST of the damage has been fixed but isn't it funny how when you get something fixed you really notice something you almost never noticed before?

I have some fitment issues on the sides skirts but that looks to be much more JP Vizage's fault then Brian's. He still needs to put on my wing so my car is still a "Work in Progress."

I'll get some pictures up tomorrow. And hopefully everything on the car will be done on within the next 10 days.

The car is now 88% complete. I need to put on some spacers on the rear wheels so the caps fit, the Vizage Wing is going on next week, and I need to put the AAM spacer on the plenum.

But for the most part the car is almost finished. I apologize for the dirt as I had to drive up to Snoqualmie and I just wanted to get some pictures out there. I'll be taking some better pictures the next couple of days.









Here is a picture of the Axis Shine fronts along with my Stoptech Stage 2 Upgrade kit.

Look at this paint job on my friend's integra, he painted the whole thing.

Work done

Shave front emblem
Shave side moldings (includes welding side molding holes (10)
Fix door dings along body line (about 25...yes there were tons)
Fix small dents in door and quarter panel
Install lip kit
