Im sorry about the llloonnnnggg wait... What happen was I died.. It was hard finding my way backk??.. No, I just got really caught up with my work and didn't have much tie to finish everything!

All the random spray paint spots was where I was protecting the metal from rain..

This took me all day, Never realized how hard it is to redo a car until I started!

As you see there is no side skirts, thats because one of them had bad cracks, so i fiber glassed them a few weeks later!

Here is the finally result! Still working on it, just one step at a time, but I was happy enough with it to finally post it on the forums!

Love the color, blue changes in the light, brighter when its sunnier, and darker as it gets cloudy

Painted yourself? Looks awesome! Painting is way more prep work than actual talent........ Paint job turned out real good looks like you took the time to do it right as the results show!!

I thought it would have been so much easier, but ended up being so hard, but worth every minute of my time!

Would of cost you way more to have someone else do it for you or else you would of ended up with a $400 cheapo paint job. Only thing I would of probably done differently was 2 toned the fascia with charcoal like most GPs have. Now time for some lowering, a set of rims and grab some GPOs!

Yeah I was going to do that, but then I liked the all blue, because I have really seen many gtps all one color! I like having a unique car I guess, haha. But yeah, once I put another 10,000 miles or so on my tires ill get new rims. Right now I have 99,955 miles.. 45 miles away to 100,000.. Its so sad... ;(

I bought it three years ago for 2300 with 65k miles on it.. I am so happy that I have a 98 under 100k... But once Im over 100k.. Thats when I get to be sad!
