Recently installed Bilstein PSS9 and eibach 20mm spacers.
I have the R3 sideskirts sitting at home and will also get an r3 front bumper.
Not really sure what to do about the paint, my rear bumper, front end, mirror caps and sideskirts have fresh VR paint, but the rest of the body is faded with a stronger orange tint. What is an acceptable price for a quality paint job of the doors, quarter panels, roof and trunk lid?
If the paint is fading then chances are, it was wrecked. The factory paint is very good, mine has held up very well and looks great after 11+ years. A good quality respray will run you $4,000-$5,000.00
In this picture you can see where the fender and door meet how the doors look orange Vs the fenders and mirror caps. Looks very ugly under certain lights.
My car has been in the Texas sun it's whole life but mine is cared for diligently. I know plenty of Texas VR guys who have not though and their cars look fine.
That said, you would be surprised what a qualified detailer can do in terms of a paint correction. It may cost $1,000.00 but I have seen these guy do some magic.
That looks more than just "faded factory paint". Velocity Red Mica will look almost orange under certain lighting. The front section of the car looks like it has no mica what so ever... That's actual common amongst repainted (half assed) mica original finishes.
