QUOTE-MaSSaCrEYou must not realise at least 50% of shops and dealerships send the cars to maaco to be paint matched or repainted when damaged and what not, nobody realises that clearly. It all depends if your being cheap and getting the 250 dollar job or getting the nice paint jobs. If you dont tell them what you wanted taped off or painted then they wont do it. Now If you go in there and right down everything you wanted taped off or painted they do it.
thats retarded it should be obvious people dont want there windows fucking painted and when you say you want it repainted the same color it should come back the same color not a different fucking color.
Regardless what anyone has to say on maaco, You dont just drop your shit off and expext it to be perfect unless you specify.
if im paying to get my car worked on i would hope to god they do the best work everytime. you dont take you car to a shop to have it worked on and hope they tighten every bolt or hope they set the timing right its expected of them
No need to pay for a paintjob that cost more then your car when maaco does great work if you go to the right people.
again it shouldnt matter the person it goes to the shop is only as good as its worst worker. id rather pay for it to be done right then to have it done there
Every shop and every business will have there flaws and people that shouldnt be working there
the difference between macco and most shops is that most shops will fix their fuck ups or make thing right.
now im done talking about shitty macco paint jobs back on topic sorry for highjacking the thread JMP

Actually the maaco by my parents shop does fix the things they mess up, and easy going. I brought my mirrors,valve cover, and etc back and there paint matching it for free.
Maaco goes by there color book, if your car color is not in there book, then they match it with the closest color I have. Anyone that takes there car there should know that, says its in the main office Lmfao.
Once I post my pictures,then you guys can down on the paint. There are maaco's out there that do good work. Just because people choose to go to the wrong ones doesnt mean there bad overall, just get a bad rep.
Just like the rest of the shit around here, Like hondas having a bad rep. when clearly they can be alot nicer and reliable than most cars out there but yet its not american cars.

Yes I was at IA. I am going to keep the front for good. Just have to let everyone know who was interested I am not selling now.
I am going to swap out the bumper support from the jdm to the usdm and make that work with the jdm bumper and such.
IA was crazy nuts, will post pics. I hope everyone else who went down posts there pics as well.
Thanks everyone for the comments. It still needs a little work to make it where I want it as far as the paint goes.
I did not paint the side skirts, cause personally I don't think the blue will flow all to well. Plus I like the black look better.
