Just wondering if you got a quote for getting the car resprayed? I been wanting to repaint the car.

Really depends on the quality of the job I want I've gotten quotes as high as 6 grand for a same color respray however that also removes every imperfection in my body... On the other side I've gotten quotes from less professional body shops for 2500-3500... Really depends how good of a job you want done

Your normal PAINT CHANGE respray with 0 body work will run you right around 5 grand

Hayseed, keep in mind I'm running 17x8et7 17x9et13 and had to pull quarters slightly. As for the front here is your biggest problem. If had a TON of camber maybe I would say different story however WHEN I get around to fixing this car it's going to be as close to the fender as possible I really am not happy with how the rear have come out at this point and may be looking in to redoing the quarters and getting spacers or a new set of rims... however I can tell you at present when I am all the way down the rim pushes on the fender pushing on the door jam causing a ton of tension on the rocker, where is it hitting? Tire is hitting inside of fender...

Sorry this is super fragmented I'm ____ tired just finished putting the GSR back together and haven't slept in close to 36 hours
