thanx ji and mixxer

i been meaning to ask you guys how much is painting the front bumper, a fender, and one headlight gonna cost me?

when i went up to my mechanic and asked he said around 400 bux

masagsxr · 11-13-2008, 03:02 AM

$400? Whoa.. I think for that i'd go to Maaco and get the whole car painted. At one point they promise to take off all the small dings and guarantee the paint for 3 years or something...

By the way, if u are parting out your old one, I'd like to buy this cover where the fog light switch goes. I'm missing one and that empty hole is bothering me hahahaha

Cjung · 11-13-2008, 03:04 AM

ah... ill giv u a heads up once im done w/ the interior swap

Mark_Dorman · 11-13-2008, 03:19 AM

Yeah...for $400 macco or earl schwab will do the whole car with ding repair. Plus if you do some of the prep work yourself (i can help you with that) it'll actually turn out pretty good.

Cjung · 11-13-2008, 03:26 AM

wow

really?

i thought paint for the whole car cost like 1k-2k

wow... i should start collecting parts for my car

mr.asian.m2 · 11-13-2008, 03:26 AM

i think $400 is a good price. i would pay for it. because with the bodyshop. you would know that there paint will last along time.

Cjung · 11-13-2008, 12:23 PM

here are few pics i took really fast in the morning as you guys requested

btw does any1 know wat rims those are?

Davis · 11-13-2008, 12:24 PM

Christian you have Nautical Blue!! I hate you!!!

Cjung · 11-13-2008, 12:27 PM

dont be jelous hahah

mr.asian.m2 · 11-13-2008, 12:45 PM

that is a nice mr2. the front is fixable. i did that kind of work before. just put alot of fiberglass behind the area that is needed. and the rims...look almost kind of like mine.

can't wait to see how this one will end up looking like later..

Cjung · 11-13-2008, 12:47 PM

fiberglass ontop of the fender? or bumper?

i was thinkin of just buying another fender to replace that one

mr.asian.m2 · 11-13-2008, 12:57 PM

fiberglass on the bumper. fender, you can just hammer it out. but, yeah...it would be easyer to buy a new bumper. as for me..i just enjoy the work. if i live near you guys. it be fun to be working on it.

masagsxr · 11-13-2008, 02:25 PM

move here in cali LoL

hahaha...yeah, i use to live there already. i use to live in san francisco, san jose, and LA near mark. and i still have family out there. so, i will be at one of you guys meet. for the pass year. i been rebuilting my engine and it's in top shape for the long drive over there. the only thing left is to install the wii system for my wife to play video game during the trip.

masagsxr · 11-13-2008, 03:03 PM

nice... so reason for moving there? I guess obviously cost of living is cheaper?

mr.asian.m2 · 11-13-2008, 04:29 PM

yeah, living cost was kicking my ass over there. plus, all my brother and sister are here in texas. and the mr2's club here are not that bad. mostly move here for better job. i have seen alot of CA's people moving here for better job too.

masagsxr · 11-13-2008, 04:30 PM

I'm in the same boat. Move out of state and get a better job and a mansion house for the price compared to here hehehehee

mr.asian.m2 · 11-13-2008, 04:41 PM

you got that right. if i was still living there. i don't think i have enough money for 2 mr2. maybe half an mr2 or something. but, i'm glad to hear that the mr2 over there are starting to get bigger. when i was there. i think i only saw like one or two. not many around at all. here in texas, there use to be over 200 member to the mr2's group. but, alot of them have sold their 2 and move on to better stuff. so, i'm like the second gen of mr2 here and we just starting it back up again. like i told mark....i want to plan something with you guys to have a large mr2 meet from there and here. i talk to some of the guys here and they are down for it.
