After staring at a white bumper, crunched quarter panel, faded roof and hood for almost the entire time I've had this thing, I finally put some money into the body and paint. I'm cheap and went with Maaco. I'm so cheap I didn't even have them fix the door dings /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. I did some of the prep myself to save some money.
All said and done I'm very happy with what they did. I no longer cringe when I see my car. There are some flaws. I need to take it back and have them fix a drip on the driver's side rear door. There are a few other little things, but I'm certainly not a perfectionist. Here's some pics.
This is a before pic of what my 1/4 panel looked like. I don't have any pics of how faded the roof and hood were, but in some places it was bare metal. I also don't have any pics of the white bumper.
Here are the after pics:
