well i got $2000 from my grandparents for graduation, and im really thinking of getting some body work...

dents pulled
rust fixed
fresh paint job ( same color maybe some metallic added) just exterior thoe no door jams or anything like that...

what could i be looking to spend on all that?

would i be saving or loosing money by getting new doors without dents, or just have them fix them...

i also will need a new hood, should i stick with a stock one or get a carbon fiber hood? and if i do go CF i don't want hood pins...


thanks for the help...

and btw i'd get all the moldings painted also...

 

good paint job will run u a grand and getting all the body work will definitely take up the rest but should get u a really nice look and finish, lucky bastard.

 

wheres the pics of the dents your car looks nice to me. I would say get the carbon fiber and give you car the greatest detail job you can do or pay for and see how it shines and then make a decision on the paint job.

 

Holy sh... I didn't get nearly that much, more like 1/20 of that.

I could imagine 100 better things to do with $2k, but rust repair sounds fair enough... but for that much you can buy a whole straight Si body with a swap. An 89 (?) Si with a B16A went for $1500 right down the street from me. Rust free.

 

i got $3000 just from my parents h:

 

I GOT about 1300 from other people, 500 from my mom, 2400 in total from my grandparents...

 

when i graduated from high school i got maybe 50 bucks, when i graduate from college ill probably get to host my own party and buy beer for everyone else u lucky bastards, but congrats.
