Crappy cameraphone pic but its easy enough to get an idea on what I have done. The color is more orange and when the sunlight hits it the metallic really shows. I get to take all of the assorted goodies that arent on the car now down to the shop in the morning.
With the half assed paintjob that was on it before, all the crap of the bodykit and the DA marks from that previous paintjob, Im really impressed with how the car turned out.
The feeling of seeing a six month long project finally coming to an end is :cool:
FWIW, this is what I started with:

Its still at the shop. :( I was in a hurry last night I didnt look it over enough to realise that it was only assembled but still unfinished. They did tell me that it would be done today, so in good faith I went down with a check and the tow truck to find this.

They were wetsanding it. :rolleyes: I didnt care about the wheels or the bald tires. I have the Zn 17s along with the FSVT fronts and hopefully the kit for the rear thats trying to happen over on CEG. As for the muffler, again, I didnt care, its coming off.

Should be interesting! Though, even if you don't "care" about them, I can't imagine why a paintshop wouldn't protect your wheels and the muffler from overspray. They have some value to someone, and it's not like it costs them hundreds of dollars to shield them appropriately. :shrug:
Let's see some finished pics. :)

There is a Cougar in my driveway. :cool:
I need to get some daylight shots for everyone to see. I dont think I am going to post it in the main forum until I get the remaining trim pieces installed.
Also, could any of you get the the layout of the enging compartment fuse block? I searched the main forum with no luck and mine is missing the top cover. The top cover of mine is missing and I know I am missing some fuses/relays. I had to pull a few pieces off of my Contour to get it to start to get in the driveway.
