Yea the DEP was pretty nice in 2006, for it being 6 years old when I got it, but after driving back and forth to college for three years, the front looked like it was actually sandblasted, not to mention the two 6ft key marks and several large dents. (notice i did not include these areas in my pics with DEP paint). My mugen style kit, spoiler, eyelids and trunk shaving were by no means professionally painted or really matched i might add. At first glance at about 50 ft. away, or at night it looked ok, but as you got closer it got nasty, quick. Even my buddy at the body shop said this job was way more intensive than planned and took way longer than expected. The DEP really was a mess and with so much body work being done i wanted a light color to cover any imperfections after body work was done. So after body work and 3 base/3 clear it turned out nice.
