Looks great. Did they take all the panels off when they did it or just mask everything. When I get mine done I want it taken apart and pretty much have it painted like it would have from the factory.

- Got it done from a guy who knows a guy, word of mouth. Total was 2k. Got the door jams painted, took out some dents in the body, fixed the rust around my gas tank door, and usual prep work for the fiberglass stuff. Some things were taken off and others taped. The body kit was removed , painted , and reset. I would recommend this guy mainly because he was a man of his word, told me id have my car Friday and sure enough it’s Friday. Oh and the first talk I had with his was noon on Monday, so not a bad turnaround especially for me as I work fulltime and im also in my last semester of college.
looks great, now it needs some power to back up the badass looks

hey now, if everyone had an LS1 you wouldn’t even notice they had balls, so really the world needs a V6 camaro here and there to make you v8's appreciate you speed and power.
Look What the guys over at camarov6.com did for me - they molded the body kit on the car, i didnt even think of having that done before i painted it. Looks nice

Hanging around CV6 is the reason you have that mentality that I put in bold. Cruise over to fullthrottlev6.com sometime.

Car looks great! I use to have a V6...nothing wrong with that...as a matter of fact..I miss her to this day. I wish I had kept her. The body kit is alright...I am not in love with it...but then again it's not my car. Overall, it looks nice though :)

Well for those who are not a fan of the body kit i have good news for you, sorta. I was driving to work the other day and after i crossed the bridge i was doing about 55-60 in the middle lane on 76, out of nowhere the front body kit falls right off and i know i ran it over. I watched it slide about 50yrds. I was able to turn around and get back on 76, come to a complete stop in the middle of the road, in traffic, grab it and go. A funny story now but man was I heated. I just dropped it off to my guy Keith and he gona take care of it and respray it and fix some of the curb rash. Great guy, no questions asked. But its going back on the car for those who don’t really care for it, fills out the car IMO.

The color is Ford Dark Shadow Gray Metalic, CX7039 - but u just need the "CX" part of the code. Its got a really nice flake too it and now that its not raining so much i can see the car dry and it changes from a dark to a light gray depending of the light and the angle at which you view the car, especially when looking at the side the door almost looks two-tone gray.

Yea, thats a really nice color. Ford offers that color on their F-series trucks. I think thats one of the nicest grays I've seen. Good choice!
TPI Monte SS- thats the color I was telling you about.
