Major Dilemma, paint or...................
So here's my dillema(sp?) I have the $ for my paint job set aside already, should I put my car in the shop, get the radiator support fixed so my grill,headlights and everything else is flush like it's supposed to be or do I live with the 1/2" offset on the passenger side headlight(it's pushed in about a 1/2" on the high beam side), and the same offset on the grill, and get the whole car painted? Right now the car is bordeaux red pearl, the hood, passenger fender and bumper are black. So what's it gonna be, everything flush and even, with black bumper, hood and fender, or slight offset of headlight and grill w/fresh paint job? Paint would be same as the car in my sig(that's why it's in my sig for those who think im trying to front )

see if they can hook you up with fixing dents, pulling frame with the paint job.........also some of the body work you can try yourself, ex door dings, and save money that way.
shop around for paint places as well

I already got my quotes and stuff and I chose them for the cost, quality of work and turn around time. I think im just gonna get it painted and worry about the radiator support after I get a supplement to my income.
