AFAccord's Body Restoration Thread

[AFAccord]

As most of you know, I completed my boost build back and December, just days before I left the country. The body and paint on the car was in pretty bad shape, but I only had time to focus on one thing before I left. My dad has been helping me out by hiring a friend to restore the body to new condition and getting the car ready to paint with the new bumpers and OEM lip kit.

December, when I left:

Damn I didn't realize your intercooler was so damn big lol.

Keeping it SSM or going for another color?

Looks good, I see that your running into the same "issue" I had with my inter cooler, it hung below the front kit. I Had to cut into the front bumper support (which I don't recommend), to raise it up, now it sits "out of danger" of scrapping...lol

I never really thought it was either, it's just mounted kind of low. I'm going to trim the bumper support a few inches when I get home and move it up so it's not hanging below the lip like it is now.

Going for Galaxy Grey Metallic

I like the color choice

If I ever get my car repainted whole, this was the color I was considering

But, I think your color will work better.

I can't take credit for the body work. The car is 8,000 miles away, so I'm relying on my father and paying a friend to help out.
