Yeah, If I could change anything I wouldn't have had him paint the 5.0 on. It looked better pictured in my head LOL

Looks like it turned out pretty slick. I would have at least removed the cowl vent cover though.

Did they just mask-off the lights during painting?

Looks good!




But they painted it all in one peice? Didn't even remove the trim or the softer body panels? Painted the bumpers and side skirts on the car? Seems odd...ESP taping off the headlights and leaving the cowl grill on.

yea I agree with everyone, it looks good but painting with everything on is a no no. At least take the antenna off.

Which is exactly why yours truly is going with something different

Then again you gotta ask yourself, how many cars with this paint scheme are there locally where you live? Might not be many where you live but there's actually at least 3 right here in my town. One is even an '85 coupe.

Prolly 50 things on there that got masked that should have been removed.

Looks good in pics though.

Honestly most of the painters around here leave the bumpers on when they paint fox's. It just depends on how much you're looking to spend on the paint job and that dictates how far the car comes apart.

Yeah he did mask off most everything. But for $1000 including all materials I cant complain lol... I've seen only 1 other online that looks like mine and that one was my inspiration for this. I wish I could undo the 5.0 being painted on. But other than that I love it!
