Only one teaser pic, Im still putting it together, the wing is a JDM Ken styles (for all you wing haters... ), better looking than the regular flat Wangan wing, better flow with the car lines. I will post pics of finished set up and all mods later this week.....

Looks good, man! I'm always curious about this since I'm looking to get some work done on my car.

Did you do any prep work yourself?

Any complaints about the quality of the job?

If it's not rude to ask, how much did everything cost?

It cost me $1,600 dollars, full paint job, no rust to repair,only small door dings. The hatch was welded and patched up due to the factory spoiler holes. No complaints with the paint job, I took almost everything off the car, mirrors, windshield fluid thingies, taillights, door handles, door window trim,etc. I thought about taking rear quarter windows, but change my mind and the guys did an excellent job painting around the windows. Yes Im keeping the pignose bumper and original lip, the paint job on the bumpers came out beautifully...the tow hook paintjob came as a result of overspraying is cool though it looks good..In order to get a good job I stalked the paint shop every day,yes I drove by every day and stop every other, just doing a friendly inspection on the progress until done....

So, you wouldn't notice if I left any white stains on your new paint would you? That spoiler is sexy!

any reason why you didnt have the sticker stripe recess filled and shaved smooth? since you removed the sticker, or do you plan on replacing it?

drifts14x, please stop humping my car!!!

Juujai, yes window moulding takes a toll, specially with time and hot weather, you cant replace it in your rear quarter windows, is moulded into the glass, all one piece, ..... the door you can replace. Windshield, expensive. Removal of windshield is required.

drifter_for_life06, the wing I found on Ebay. Is a Ken Style wing (out of production), JDM Baby!! actually I was going go with a new OEM one. But I never like how it sits againts the hatch and collects all kinds of dirt and grime. This one unlike an OEM or regular wangan only touches the hatch on 2 spots on each side and no screws are used....

p00t, I like how the recess looks and dont like the idea of interfering with the sheet metal on my car unless really necessary, ..... I dont think that by filling the recess, increases the visual appearance that much, but this is my personal opinion...and no I wont be replacing the sticker..

One reason why I have a "clean" 240 is because I owned this mofo since brand new....

thank you all for the nice comments, more pics coming soon...
