OK last Monday I dropped my car off at Maaco, I picked it up yesterday, and WOW Im happy! The car still needs the trim put back on, a new windshield, some tints, and the exhaust fixed, but damn just look at it, it looks pretty good I think.

(Sorry for the Quality I only have a camera Phone.)





I really wanted the guy who painted StProRolla's car to piant mine, but I simply could afford it.

One quick close up, I love this one since whne I bought the car it never had a Ford emblem on the trunk.

The rims Im sporting. SN95 Waffles with the Pony in the center cap painted to match the car.

How much did it cost you? How did they do on masking? Did they do any body work for you?

ohhh i see im popular! Sry I had to go install lamp posts at a friends house. Its cost me $1083.75. Thats $500 for paint, 150 for the 2 door jambs, and the rest in body work. The body work consisted of: Rust under the paint all along the bottom of the pass door (surface, nothign serious), hood rust (minor spots), taking off this glue crap that my front bumper had all over it (I replaced the bumper, but the one I got had a groundeffects kit on it), and ANYTHING I had marked or circle with the sharpie (dingd, scratches, etches etc... about 20 markings), he painted the door window trim are flat black and the side view mirrors the color fo the car (black). He said $1000, then the 83.75 came from tax.

Lookin very good. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal as well.

I noticed in your top picture it looks like the drivers side wiper is jacked up a little bit. You gonna fix that? lol

How good a quality is Maaco? I've been seeing their commercials, I just don't know anyone who's taken their car there.

thanks alot tunedin...

tx2000: There quality is great. BUT you must tell them anyhting you want fixed. i mean EVERYTHING. you forget one spot of rust or dont mark a dent and they will apint right over it. ovverall, 9.5/10 absolutely great quality. Just go there with good body work, or be very specific.
