    My car is finally in the body shop.

    It's been since October, when my car got assaulted by a mad deer, but my car is now finally in the shop for repairs. Among fixing the doors, I'm also having a little minor body work done and the car repainted. Here's a Photoshop sneak peak of what's to come.

    Wow, is it gonna be a matte finish? IMO, it would look better glossy.

    But, great work man. You're an inspiriation.

    It's gonna be glossy... exactly how the IS300 is. I'm just not quite the Photoshop master that some of you are. All the work is getting done at www.eastcoastimportsinc.com. I'm not sure how long it will take because I was supposed to wait till mid August to get the work started because they're busy right now. I just wanted to have them start on the repair work while I figure out everything I want done. Lol. I'll take into consideration your suggestion about cutting out the emblem. I kinda like it being there, but if I or the shop can eliminate it by redoing the grill in carbon fiber, I may go that route.

    I think he should paint it the way he has planned, i love how it merges in with the grill of the car. Thats very sharp.

    Definitely paint the hood like that and REMOVE the emblem for that CF idea you had. That would not only be original, but dam near unduplicateable(wow I made a word) by anyone else. Props on the from back in the day when you had the Purple fetish up until now.
