Shaved my trunk.

I just got my car back from the body shop today. I gotten my key hole shaven and i removed all of the badges. I think it looks helluva lot cleaner now.






So what do you all think?

NICE. Sonic Yellow is the way to go

I removed the S U B A R U from mine but left the rest. Doubtful that I'll get rid of the keyhole but that's just cuz I'm lazy

Um to tell ya the truth i'm not really sure. My boss and I did the body work ourselves. We welded the key hole shut and smothed it all out and all that good stuff. Then my friends dad is the head body man at a dealer ship so I had him spray it. Originally he said like 80 bux for painting but i had some damage i had to get fix so it costed a lil more.

Not bad. Looks incredibly clean. I like.

Just out of curiousity, how do you get into the trunk now? Pop the lever near the drivers seat? Is a trunk release mechanism built into your alarm fob?

That looks pretty nice. Am I crazy or does the bumper look faded compared to the trunk though?

its probobly cuz the bumber is made of different material than the metal of the car. also maybe cuz the bumper was oxidized and the trunk is new paint.
