Got my car painted!

I'll just give you a link to my cardomain page I just setup to save bandwidth.

It weas done in a week, and costed me $3300 CND, so roughly $2700USD? I paid cash. I'm very impressed with the job.

lol I knew someone would say something about that. Nobody better come and call it ricey though. The term 'rice' is getting too loose. But hey, I'm 17, and I want a system in my car. Once it's glassed and painted black to match the car I think it'll look fine. :thumbs:

We all have different needs, or rather, wants. Motor comes when I have more money. ie. after college.

Not too much. He did tell me that the previous owner had all 4 fenders off at one time, and they were spliced back together. Before I got it painted you could see that it was all starting to seperate. He fixed that for me...nothing else was really needed.

Cool pics. I think the black with the blue will look good. Got any shots in the sun so it shows some of the blue? BTW, I like the box. Interesting seeing how you are building one. I have never seen how one like this is built. Make sure to post more pics when you get time.

It's hard to get good pictures of it because there's so much glare with the sun. I'll try again later, there's no sun out day though. lol. And yeah, I'll be keeping my page update with pics as it goes.

Re: Got my car painted! (SicChild)

Car looks great and as far as the speaker box goes, I am so sick and tired of people putting other people down because of the type of music they listen to or because of how loud they listen to it. Our differences are what make us, just that, different. So I say to you SicChild---rock on. biggjimm

Looks real nice, enjoy it. My only question is where will you store the t tops with the system installed ? It dont look like they will fit any more.

Paint looks great, will check back on the update of the speaker box. The only Question i have is how can a 17yr old afford insurance in Alberta anymore,you guys have it rought there :eek: Well keep up the good work and crank the tones when the box is done. :steering: :cheers:
