Definitely nice. I like it. Still, I personally would prefer some BBS mesh wheels in that CE28N bronze color. SO smoothe.

Oh no. Those look like fans on each wheel. Not feeling it sorry.

YO PRAKASH! About time, see you found me instead.

To everybody, I've heard bad things about MAACO. But the thing is, it's the guy that paints your car not the company. It wasn't single stage, at least I don't think so. It's was the cheapest one they had. It was before single stage. All I did to prep it for painting was clean it very thoroughly. It's not perfect, but as you can see from the before and after shots, it's WAY better. Only thing is a little overspray here and there. Besides that, it's good quality. No peeling or chipping at all. Surprises me as well.

I'm in the Anne Arundel County area. Although, I'm in Silver Spring like all the time. I travel between Laurel and Silver Spring. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw me somewhere.

I've seen you a couple times now. I actually saw you one Saturday night near the 7 eleven at the intersection of Randolph and New Hampshire. You were with some other guy in like a cherry red s13 w/ turbo. I'm also guessing he works in automobile blvd because I always see his car parked when I test drive cars and what not. lol Sorry to sound like a creeper.

We're out every weekend so it's no surprise you guys saw me. That was me. Next time you should swing over and introduce yourself. Don't be a stranger. You can usually catch us there on Friday nights.

Looks a lot better, but i definatley would have repainted the mirrors, A pillars and the roof with gloss black, but whatever bakes your cake

i definitley think white wheels would look SICK with that color tho

Ramonesfreak2010: It's all good. Seems like everybody's cars are sitting now. Let me know if you would like to run with us. It's me and like 9 other drivers. You can contact me here or by e-mail in my profile if your interested.
SketchyRollin564: I agree that white would look sick on the car, but it's not the look I'm going for. I was thinking about having the mirrors, pillars, and roof black but we'll have to see. This was just done to hold me until further down the road. Thanks for your input.
bersh240: I wasn't there to see the process. I know that they removed my plates before they sprayed because it was dangling and loose like a mother while I was driving. I'm pretty sure they masked off my lights and other areas. They didn't remove anything besides the plates. I made it very clear because I didn't want them messing with my car. If you decide to paint yours, prep it before you take it in and mask it yourself on the spot if your very cautious. I would've done that but I didn't have time that day.
