Out of the Shop in Style

Well I finally got her back after a week and a half of not having my baby. I had a Chevy Malibu in the intrum and yeah.. oi I'm happy to have RWD again. Anyways... these are the only shots I have atm since its night out so enjoy if you can make stuff out lol.




Can anyone see if anything is different??
(for some reason photobucket is being a bitch and not showing more photos that I've uploaded grrr..)

Its not Flat Black.. that was my orginal plan but the guys at the bodyshop though another color would be best. Its a Grey from a GMC car believe it or not lol.. its very stuble and doesnt jump out at you, which is what I wanted. These night time shots dont fully show it.

And Chris tomorrow I shall try.. I have a shotgun wedding to goto so yeah.. gonna be a hellish day. And yes Chris this color will be brought to the front so dont fret much ok? lol

I had a all day wedding today so pictures where a no go. I'll have some up tomorrow morning before it gets crazy again. Sadly I have to take her back to the shop for a few minor issues. Sideskirt on passenger side is completly held onto the car via the screws 'cause the double sided sticky stuff aparently isnt working anymore?!?! Found two light scratches that go down to the fiberglass that look like the paint was just absorbed completely into it. And on the passenger side edge by the wheel looks like a paint bubble popped and took some of the fiberglass with it. Kind of annoyed but its fixable and not getting to pissed off about (have bigger things to get pissed off about atm grr ).

Good news is I have a extra rim and a tail light to sell

Bob I'm definatly coming up Saturday most likely with a few people in tow.

And thanks for the compliment.. my baby's *** is oh so fine!! hehehe.

It was a custom job on the paint obviously. I wanted Matte Black but they all thought it wouldnt look right (as in be barely noticable.) they convinced me to do a more charcoal like color (grey) and after looking at a couple (try several!) color swatches I picked one out. I've always had the idea since the few Kenstyle rears I've seen have been either White or Red and they've had the lower section be painted black to make it seem like a entirely different piece. Since the accident allowed me to get it done the way I wanted I took it.

Example of what I mean:


Oh and Chris.. I am losing weight from 190 down to 170'ish

Not bad. If you had that whole section painted that color it'd be more obvious and cleaner.

I had the whole section painted matte black because I didn't want it reflecting anything. That's where the difference shows.
