Re: Greetings from Tampa, Florida
Yeah I saw a guy who plasti-dipped his car, it looks nice don't get me wrong, but it isn't what is needed here I have body damage IE rust and paint damage throwing plasti-dip over it doesn't correct the problems they will still be there tomorrow all I did was hide it till it becomes a greater problem later.
I could dip it in the future if I get bored with the repaint but at the moment I am looking into repaint, at this moment I am looking for a good shop that can do it for a reasonable price. I got my Mustang done for 800 it had to be repainted twice because of bubbles at no charge I would consider going back to them again since the reason it bubbled was one of the employees thought the car was dry and opened the car door introducing dust into the door. But after the 2nd Repaint it was gorgeous.
The only other option I have would be gut the car and store the parts. My dad has also given me unrestricted license to take parts off of the other 2 crossfires he owns (He bought one that had an electrical fire, and another one is in perfect condition but no one can figure out why it won't start they are a 2008 Limited Coupe Black and a 2006 Base Model Couple Black) If I use the 2008 Limited Coupe Black I could have a Black Crossfire with the paint in perfect condition as it was only driven for 8000 miles before it just wouldn't start. However a complete rebuild taking out all the parts out of my car just to put them into a different chassis is completely stupid. So I figure I will get an estimate to paint the car.
My plans is to preform a full restoration, then begin working on Modifications I currently have a GForce Performance Chip for my car I need to install and I hope to add more modifications to it later.
Since the run on this car wasn't long and this car is lesser known (IMO) how is the Aftermarket on this car and are there any particular sites I should look at? I bought the majority of my parts from American Muscle when it came to my Mustang or finding them on Mustangs from LKQ and yanking them or even some on Ebay
I feel like I should look at Cosmetic since most of the damage to my car lays there then look at actual nuts and bolts after I finish the repairs.
