should i get her painted?
ok...im having some problems deciding what to do with my car. right now, its white with a black hood. i was in an accident a couple months ago and the hood that they found me was black. needless to say, its very ugly right now (imo). eventually, i really want to get it painted. however, im having problms figuring out if now is the right time. assuming that the paint job is around 3500-5000 (got an estimate today for around 4500-5000), is it worth it? ill be putting around 1k in cash the charging the rest. this will be my only debt, semi-long-term, long-term, or short-term. oh, and ill be painting it electron blue. :cool: so, what would cf.com do? any insights? i never plan on selling the car, so is it a worthy investment?
also, later on down the road, i plan to get some y2k chromies for her. :D

body off...meaning the entire car would be stripped down? yes, of course. id get it done right if i were going to pay that much money for it. bumpers off, everything.
but now ive just got the thought of just painting the hood,selling her, and buying a vert 95 or 96, with a color closer to what id want. sigh...

:iagree:
But if you have to finance, I would wait.
