Had to disassemble my car for paint recently and took some pictures to show how clean it was. The paint under the sail panel was like new.

Cool fog lights. French yellow version. I'm not quite sure what OEM numbers these lights had. Is it a Hella or Bosch version? Could you help with some information?
Thanks!

Mike, why the repaint?


The car was auto X'd most of it's life, if you saw it in person you would understand. Many, Many, door dings, road rash on front hood and fenders, already replaced the windshield because it too was rashed.

Fog lights came that way, it is a yellow film that goes over the stock ones and I only found out when I took the bumpers off. It is that good of a product, don't know where PO got it, maybe someone he will chime in.

Hi Mike
Is your car original paint ?
In the front shot I see flat black paint on the right 1/3rd at the bottom.
Does your car also have flat black over the body color on the pinch welds at the bottom of the rockers ?
I don't know if this has been a topic here. I'm pretty sure that the factory painted the lower perimeter of the cars (especially lighter color cars) with flat black to hide those visable parts and to blend them into the rockers and valences.
Do you see this on your car ?
Anyone agree ?

Yes left front is out of line must have had some damage and was welded on in wrong spot. This will be addressed down the road.
