oh?
have you any suggestions (aside from Cody) of places to get spare parts painted?
I am toying with the idea of getting some other parts painted in addition to the replacement lower lip...
maybe running a white hood in the meantime too...
but honestly I got ALOT on my plate... so this has stalled at the idea stage.

we do deal with a couple of bodyshops.... i believe i can still get a solvent paint job done for you instead of the crap water based..... however that stuff is not cheap at all.... just your lip alone will be expensive, maybe have mr. chippy do what they do to fix the hood.... then as soon as it is done bring it over for a layer of rock guard.....
besides im sure you want to pay once only so cody is not a good option.... hahahahah

im thinking at least 1500 in painting work there for all that..... i could ask around if you wanted..... definatly rock guard it man..... it may not stop all rock chips but it will stop 95% or more..... specially road rash

thats why its so easy to write off a car lately.... between the bodyshop prices and part prices it dont take long to add up 10 grand.... maybe if the prep work was done it may be cheaper.... if the bodyshop was willing too let you do that, some wont..... i also may know another guy who works at said bodyshops and works out of his garage on weekends.... but that involves no warranties which isnt the greatest options either....

My parts showed up today! ZZP billet engine mount, both rotated trans mounts and triple gauge pillar pod 
Next up, I am at a crossroads as to what I should order. Im thinking clutch and valve springs in preparation for the ZFR in april.... but I am also wanting to get new headlight housings and the rear lip with vents from a G5GT. hmmmmmmm
Any other suggestions?
