[allisonbergie]

very sweet. indeed an extensive work. but its all worth it. :tu:

[BMWperson]

Hey I was wondering where you got the paint job done at for $350. I was also wondering if that included the body filler work too?

[Kelso]

All I have to say is...WOW. Nice job.

[dub1.8t]

Love the wheels man! Saw them on an Audi the other day and thought to myself, "self, do I know anyone with a jack and perhaps a 17mm lug wrench?" But I didn't so... car looks great though! Good work!

[jettalvr41]

Hey I was wondering where you got the paint job done at for $350. I was also wondering if that included the body filler work too?
well i work at a body shop and my dad is the manager of the best body shop in the state. so i tend to get things done cheap...er then normal. hehe but it would have normally cost me about 3500 dollars

[senseless1707]

That is going to look hot when it's done! cannot wait to see it:tu:

[jettalvr41]

so sold my audi a8's got passat headlight retros and now im looking at a manual tranny a drop and some brock b1's

[OrangeDUB]

For a 0 miles motor, thanks to shoddy workmanship at the dealer that broke his timing belt, thus ruining the motor!
