I tried talking to the body shop instructor about recomending a local shop to paint aero mirrors & GTS wing....of course he said "just bring it here"....I say "I want a perfect color match & want a top quaility job"...again he says bring it there.....the thought of leaving my 928 at the schools body shop for any period of time is SCARY....its amazing how many of the body shop students I arrest every year!!! So the aero mirrors-GTS wing will have to wait!

What do you arrest them for - over-ricing?

What year did the spare tire become a painted color? Was red the only color "offered"?

Why not just leave the mirrors and wing at the body shop after they get the color from the car?

I was watching Overhaulin' last night (yeah, I admit it-I'm a car show junkie), and they did a Honda, Foose's first import project. They spent the first 10 minutes of the show talking about how much bondo the P.O.S. had on it.
