Default my civ after paint job and junk..just a litte something

Alright so good ole' michigan you cant really rely on the weather people to give us something to work with. So after a month of some heavy snow... i was able to finally get some pictures after maccoo sprayed my car (325$) a Black-Blue Metallic..which has an awesome effect in the light.

So surprisingly we've had a very mild winter here atleast around the detroit area... so pics of my halo head lights along with the badge gone on the hood, the ding gaurd type molding on the sides gone, and the badge gone on the back along with other little things wrong with it. DONT MIND THE BEATER RIMS!!!! THEY ARE ONLY FOR WINTER USE..... and unfortunatly there is no snow in any of hte pictures bcause it happened to be ?60 degrees? in michigan that day. so here you go. and 2 pictures of the new oem calipers and rotors i had to get because the shop siad they would do it and total cost would be 800$ HA yea right 116$ later and a few dr. peppers....got me self some new stuff.

looks good. Are you the same guy who accidentally had his car painted purple a couple months ago?

Paint those calipers while they're nice and clean.
