Thats strange, if there showing up in the live preview they should be working. E-mail me the pics and I'll see if I can host them.

Wow, Justin! Looks great. What all did they do and what did they charge you? I will be taking mine today to get some paint work done.
Thanks

They replaced the front and rear bumper covers (although I only damaged the front), both side skirts, the drivers side front fender, and the drivers side headlight cover. Then they repainted the entire car in DuPont Mystic Teal metallic and DuPont Chroma Premier clear coat... The front badge has a vinyl inlay (sparkly silver) clear coated in; the tail-light panel was sanded down, stickered up, and clear coated; The door bumpers and badges were removed, and the silver stickers in place of the factory badges and clear coated over for a nice smooth look.
The body work and paint job came to a total of $4500, but I only paid $900 due to it being an insurance job. Im gonna have my wheels painted to match the silver vinyl and the ghosted stripes done in about a month, that will cost $6-700.

They clear coated the door handles while they were removed... Went from faded flat black to nice and shiny gloss black. I found that avatar pic on googleimages, You'd be suprised what you find on there Thanks for the props!

that is one thing that bothered me about the 93-97 the black door handles. they look better than stock, but i like the 98-02 body color ones.

Yeah, I couldnt do the dull black stock look. Then got talked out of painting them body color because it was a feature that belongs to the 98+ cars. That and it looks like an electro-bake(really cheap local shop) paint job when they're painted. My body man was really wanting to keep everything stock style; I won a few debates and he won a few, and the car looks great.
