    Everyone, as you may know I took my Maverick in on the 3rd of this month for a paint job, which it needed badly. A few months ago I also got the windows tinted. Just wanted to share my progress with you, as Im extremely proud of the final product. Just need some wheels and I'll be good to go! I couldnt load a picture of the before pic, so I had to paste it in here. But I was able to load the after pic, so ENJOY!

    Nice, From the picture looks like a good quality job. BTW, What wheels are you going to get for it?

    I really like the Magnum 500 look, but I don't have my heart set on any of type of wheel. At this point, I'll get whatever looks good really thats available in 4 lug or whatever. By the way, thats mud on the bottom of the car. My dad would really like to put a 302 in my car, so I think we might try and do that once we can find someone to help us out with it. Anyone in Colorado that could help us out?????

    Nice. You should get rid of those front bumper-guards. Give it a less cluttered, more streamlined look...

    Looks great. :clap:

    Wow the before looks like my car now. So you did away with the molding. How did you fix the wholes. I am still leaning towards keeping it.

    I vote to leave the guards on.
    Coming along nicely there.

    Good luck.

    looking good!(y) some keystone classics would really set that car off!would you happen to know the color or code for the paint?
    ditto on removing the bumper guards.would give it a more clean look.but do what makes you happy.

    Blue Mica; it's an isuzu/subaru paint...im pretty sure anyway. Yeah, I like my bumper guards. I will probably leave them on. The holes from the moulding were welded shut. I hated those mouldings!! Thanks for the compliments, Im real proud of it!! I hate to sound annoying, but suddenly its turning heads. Haha!

    hey the photo doesnt do it justice, its a million times better looking in person!

    Looks great! We need to start an anti-moulding club! :)
