I am debating on adding the TE stripe in Laguna Seca Blue.... Again the face of the rim will be flat black, lip will be gloss black, bbk caliper will be Laguna Seca blue.....
I was thinking about doing the stripe in Laguna Seca blue, but I think it might be over doing it and it could take away from what I am trying to do. I need opinions

I was told to stop by the shop yesterday due to an issue that came up with the driver side quarter panel. When I arrived he showed me the body lines for the the quarterpanel had be blended out/ erased.
About 2 years ago some retarded lady, who deserves to have her license revoked, reversed into my driver side quarter panel while I was parked across the street of my wifes (girlfriend at the time)house. Long story short, I took it to a local shop and they fixed, or should I say did a cover up. The shop the car is presently at noticed the body lines from the quarter panels were missing/ blended out, the fender was slightly off symetrically, and to top it off they used a cheap spray on primer (that never cures), so they needed to reprimer and now rebuild the rear quarter panel adding the body lines that were taken away.....
On another note.... aside from the rear quarter panel everything is pretty much ready for paint. The front and rear were reblocked and all the lines and angles were sharpened to really enhance the overall appearance. While at the shop yesterday, we talked about the TE stripe amongst other things, and I decided against it. I really want the blue on the caliper to pop, and by implementing the TE stripe it might take away from the look I am trying to achieve.

I agree w/ you on the stripe, don't do it. What about your headlights?? Are you gonna paint them black?? I think it would match better w/ black headlights instead of the stock silverish ones
What's good Brah, glad to see the project coming along... Don't count on Mike getting you a spot in the show, those are famous last words. You will be lucky to see your car out by the end of next year. Let's hope we see some improvements until then. 
Finally got a chance to hit the forums, been busy with the closing and all. Wow, knew you had some things in the works but not to that extent.....you been puttin in some work. you still heading this way? Really wanna see the final product.

Ya Joe, still planning on coming up so maybe we can do a photoshoot or something when I get up there.
UPDATE: Rear quarter panel has been fixed, and front, rear, sides, interior pieces, and sound system are going to be painted today

Thanks Andrew
UPDATE: Got out off of work early so I went to the shop, and to my suprise there was PAINT...Unfotunately it wasn't Laguna Seca Blue, it was gloss black/ flat black. Rims, Headlights, and side mirrors were painted. Quarter windows and moldings were removed aswell. Later today I will be dropping off my Titanium Lug nuts, I should have some pics by tonight.

Purchased these brand new last year October from a member here on the forums. Each lug burned to perfection (IMO), and the weight of these things is equivalent to a paper clip.....Doesn't justify how much I paid for them, but they are so purdy I couldn't resist....On to the pics
