    This thread made me finally order my shark fin antenna. Thanks..

    Originally was emailing the sales guys back in February.. forgot about it until browsing this thread. Originally couldn't find the paint code, gave up. 8 months later, find this thread, and place order immediately.

    VG is arguing with me over the color black. I told them 690F and they're telling me there's more than one black. WTF people, I own the car, I know what I'm talking about! UGH!

Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber.

    I wish the idiot repainting my doors after his buddy scratched them could read paint codes. He did them once and they looked cloudy gray with little mettalic...Too bad I have Phantom Metallic

    that has nothing to do with the code used, its the mix provided by the paint companies. I've painted parts of mine and it is also very slightly cloudy under some light condition. its a pain in the ass.

    This is still going on...He says I will get it back this Wednesday...I've heard this before...I think I want him to pay my car payment for the month.

    Update: He repainted the whole side of the car. The paint is filled with fisheyes and dirt. The scratches were not prepped correctly.
    I am done with this guy. I made him bring it to another body shop and they did an estimate for $6700 to fix the damage he did to the car. I want payment from him before I take it to the body shop. I don't want my car tied up if he refuses to pay the bill. I don't know if I even want this car after it's repainted.
