My car: Before and After

Here is my 2000 ES. When i first bought her things looked fine but within a year it had been hit four times, twice in the front and twice in the rear (all 4 times the car was parked and i wasnt in it) and then the clear coat pretty much disintegrated off of the hood. So this summer ive gone to town and spent almost all my money fixing her up...tell me what you think....

we'll start with before pics (winter 05)

I think Karen has a thing about wheel gap, she didn't like mine either, and I AM lowered...

looks much better man, I like those red tails. not an altezza fan but aftermarket red lights look good to me.

Let me know if you need any help under the hood
