Thumbs up I got my car back from the shop

Time for me to brag “Just a little” I just got my car back from getting the new front end from fiberwerks put on at the body shop this weekend. Also a new paint job and several other body related issues. All of which are now straight “Pardon the pun”. The car looks AWRSOME IMHO, and will be prominently displayed on my web site this evening. I spent the weekend going over small details and installing the MSD 6a/l ignition system with the blaster two coil as well as installing the throttle response cam and quick drain oil plug during the oil change. The change in idle and low-end response after the MSD install was much more than I had expected, what really got me was the smooth acceleration all the way through the gears all the way to 6500 RPM “Incredible with no flats pots”. This Ignition system really is worth the bang for the buck “Sorry no dyno” but I can attest to the benefit of using this system. I am very pleased. The throttle response cam was a plus, not only did it tighten up the throttle peddle and help with the throttle response the car has a much more noticeable peddle feel to it during tight corning and higher speed RPM matching. Excellent upgrade. Sorry there are no pics just yet I was too busy driving it this weekend to take pictures ”500 miles worth”J I promise I will take pics as soon as I get off work at 4:00 eastern time, “I have the digital with me here at the office” and will Post them as soon as I hit the house this evening. I hade to post couldn’t keep the excitement in any longer. You can see what the car looked like prior to the bodywork and the damage on my web site listed here on ren list. There is also a list of items and worked on added or done to the car since I bought it. Have fun. Look for the post later today. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" /> <img src="graemlins/drink.gif" border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" />

Tabo -
If you don't mind, how much did you pay for the paint/body work? I am in the same boat (though I'm not getting a new front end.)

Thanks!

Cool

I was quoted 4,750.00 but I actually did not pay that much because of a deal. But that is what it would have cost otherwise. That did not include the cost of the front end nore the fender wells or the right fender. Oh forgot hood shocks and a few other small parts.

But the end result is beautiful Cant wait to get out of work to drive it some more <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
