Just got it back this week after dropping it off nearly three months ago for paint. Perhaps the painter didn't like my body work and it cost him more time repairing my mistakes? I don't know why it took so long but it was worth the wait. it is like glass everywhere, overall very happy with the work.

I never decided on a spoiler so there are pics with no spoiler, the stock one moved back, the roush (in the stock moved back position) and then I finally decided to go with the roush in the stock spot so I had to re-drill those holes. Luckily the old ones are covered by the Roush spoiler now.

Total cost of paint = about $700
painter fee = $1600

So not too bad for the price. I absolutely love the color and they VHT'd and clear coated the rear lights for me too.

heres a link to the pics... New Paint Mustang | Facebook

Not sure what the story was before hand that would explain the new paint but it looks good. Not a fan of that wing though.

looks real nice, but I have to say I like the no wing look best. Also, I see you had the MUSTANG filled on the bumper. I always wondered if the filler would crack down the line a mess up the paint. Does the body shop offer any guarantee against that happening?

No real story other than I hate red and should have held out for the color I wanted. and I wanted the saleen front bumper so I went ahead with the paint change.

No guarantees, I did most of the body work but the bumper fill in came out absolutely flawless. I think as long as theres no bumping into it that it will stay that way. I used quality materials and it cost me probly about $80 between the "proper" type of filler and sanding supplies. then the painter took care of the block sanding on everything.

To be honest in the pictures I like it without the wing. But in person it just doesn't look right. I really like the roush wing and I dont see many around here. pretty much I never saw a roush wing until I found this one on ebay. So I'm happy with it.

Great looking car. I love the profile shot of it when it is dry. I'm no photoshop expert, but if you could photoshop out the vents in the side molding, and the side of the front splitter, and then the wing, I would really like to see what it would look like.

I think it was $2300 well spent, the car looks brand spanking new to me...

Of course $2300 towards some mods would have been nice too...

that was gonna be my answer. I guess I spent about $5000 on my engine for no real reason too, cuz it ran just fine before. Guess I forgot to post one with the hood open. lol I'll get to it.

I like the engine bay better than the paint. Would have really been nice if you had matched the paint to the blue on the engine. But I think you got a decent price on the paint job,
