DR1665: I definitely need to buy him something. The guy who did the body work usually only works on high end German cars and older muscle cars. I'm not sure but I think my buddy had to talk him into taking this on. He said that the car looked a bit out of place in the shop at first. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
SleepinGVR4: Thanks. The way it's going, by the time those parts find their way onto the car, they won't be prototypes anymore.
Red Bird: The B-Pillar post is probably painted body color ATT. However it's supposed to be black when it's all said and done. I told the painters that I wanted everything like it came from the factory. Whatever was black stays black, if it was body color.... and so on. The color is H52 Kensington Grey. My buddy said that he had the painters do a coat of black primer underneath the basecoat to try and bring out the color a bit more. I'm not sure if that's going to do anything, but then again he's the body guy and knows what he's talking about.
Ernie: I know man. The wait is killing me.
I might get to go by the shop this weekend and take a look at it in person. The bumpers still need to be sprayed, along with the body cladding and wing. He also said that the painters managed not to damage the stickers underneath the JDM hood when they prepped it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif After the rest of the stuff gets painted, then it goes back together. I'll be sure to update with more pics when I get a chance to get them.
