    Back on topic. I got a color change from Vhin's body and I went on what I had seen from other peoples paint jobs and even Matts car. I was dissappointed, I need body work from where I was side swiped. They fixed the 1/4-door edge but the rear fender well was whiped and blocked flat. There were plenty of clear runs for me to sand and buff out as well and some paint runs. I paid $1500 and was willing to pay more but I was told that they would fix it all and paint it for that price. I didnt hastle them, I just dropped it off and told them to call me when it was done. I know I should have taken it back to them to fix it but its too far for me and I just did it myself. Then on the flip side they did a great job on matt's hood and roof.
    I second being not impressed with Vinh's. I took my del Sol there, and I had MASSIVE paint runs in the clear coat, dull areas where they had tried to just "buff/sand out" paint runs, flaking paint the day I got the car home... to this day I don't know if they ACTUALLY replaced the quarter panel that they claimed to have replaced or if they just filled my old one back up with bondo... I saw the donor car, and the quarter panel was cut off on it, but when I asked them to show me my car's old quarter panel, no one could tell me where it was and then finally someone said it had already been hauled for scrap, but there was other scrap metal hanging out there. I had bugs dried into my clear coat, and an area of rust that I had asked them to patch was never patched. The engine bay looked like absolute ****, and I'm not even gonna go there on the fact that my rear bumper was held on by the incorrect screws so that it pulled itself loose on the highway driving back to Savannah. The trunk lid was only held on by two bolts when I brought it in with 4, which made for some interesting episodes of "hold down the trunk on the highway". I came and got the car on the Thursday before Nopi Nationals 2006 and literally spent the next 48 hours awake trying to fix all the things that were wrong with the car.

    Li said he would "re-do" the car, but never made good on it. Never offered me any kind of partial refund or anything. I'm definitely NOT going there again.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    I just picked up my car from sprayglo in duluth. I got my maxima repainted black for $400. Keep in mind you get what you pay for, but it came out better than I expected. It is not a nice paint job by far, but my max looks a lot better than it ever did. I just wish I would've had another $300 to get the base/clear though....
