Thanks jaws i love it. It's the stock 3L2 color. Its just all new paint so its not all DULL.
Does anyone think i should angle my exhaust with the rear lip? or go streight?

It's all a matter of opinion and what you want. Car looks great though. Can't wait to see it with wheels on.

Thanks for the pics. Now that i seen yours i think i like the streight look better with the rear lip.
wow, shiny. can't wait to see the finished product.
ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.
about flipping time!!!! 
that looks great!
go or the straight look, in my opinion, angled looks like you ''tried'' to put it on, but your a idiot and you cant get it straight....tahts what i think.....HOWEVER if done jsut rihgtm and on certain cars the angled does look really good.....go straight

Lookin' good! I'd go angled on the exhaust...that way you can run the piping under the rear suspension.
New Toyota project coming soon...

Yea thats what i was thinking. I have thermal cat back exhaust. But when they fitted my rear lip they had to cut it. And i'm going to be welding the tip back onto my exhaust but i just didn't know if i wanted it angled or not. I do know that when i get my 3s im getting all new exhaust to go under axle but i think i might go streight for right now.

No you can't i painted it the same color of the car. It looks way better then it did when it was c/f IMO i hated the look of my car with c/f i just love the style of the hood thats the biggest reason i got it.

Yea i know i can't wait to drive it home. But the only bad thing is, is when i leave that place and drive it home i have no muffler on it right now. He cut it off, and i have to weld it back on when i can get it on a lift. So its gonna look good going down the street. But sound really bad lol.

They painted it on Saterday. Let it sit the rest of the day saterday and sunday then started wet sanding it Monday and buffed it monday. Then waxed it today. Their a professional paint & bodyshop so i figure they are doing the right thing. But o-well it looks really really good.

Is this car ever going to be finished? Everytime i check on it (which is frequent since its such a badass car) its suppose to be ready the next day, and then its not going to be done until the next day and so on. Tell these guys at the shop to hurry up, ive never seen a job take so long.
Looks good though.

Hey everyone was just wanting to let everyone know that i got my car back tonight. Didn't get to put my exhaust back on tho. Which will be done tomorrow, but i will get pics up tomorrow as soon as i take some. Remember to check up on this tomorrow around 2PM.
lucky you. i was supposed to get mine back today too, but the shop said it'll be ready tomorrow (grr, it better). can't wait to see some finished pics. from what i've already seen, i can tell it looks pretty sweet. hopefully i get my car early enough to take pics and enter some for the calendar.
