That's great.

Just a couple of criticisms though.
1. You should have taken off the door handles and rear bumper to spray that quarter. It allows for a cleaner job and helps with adhesion in the cracks/crevices
2. You should have blended the rear bumper in

Otherwise good job on the save.

your right about it all but i masked up the rear bumper and door handles just to primer what i had done body work on. Before the car was sprayed i had removed the bumper, door handles, mirriors, fender ect ect.

First off, congrats on getting the car back to good shape. Hope you enjoy it.

Although that isn't an SSL...I don't see a sunroof and those are non HID housings.

trust me its an ssl lol...I guess the quality is the reason to blame for not seeing the sunroof (camera phone pic)

also I replaced the drivers side headlight with an 03 headlight non-hid for the mean time because it was all i can find at the time of me repairing the car. If you look at the pass. side you will see the headlight is factory hid with fog light
