I entered the car in an Auto show the day after I got it home from the body shop and it won a second place trophy....
It got sanded and blocked twice with two coats of clear...
Here are some pics....

Looks great! How long was it in the shop? Did it come from the shop with the trophy?
Could we see a pic of the front? Those lights look cool.

Wow, looks great - congratulations!
I see you got some Eye-Talian sunglasses to go with that Eye-Talian car, too!

Re: Finely got my car back from the paint shop.......
It was in the shop for five weeks...... My Eye-Talian sunglasses came in time for the show...
While it was in the shop, I drained fluid and put set pins in the bumper pistons to tuck them in as far as they would go.
I also cut the springs three coils front and back to lower it enough to tuck the tires into the fenders.
So far in the last week three people have asked me if it was a Ferrarri... I guess there are a lot of people that never heard of a Fiat...

Thanks. I have the same size tires and rims and would like to lower mine like yours. Have you had any problems with handling or the tires rubbing in tight turns?RoadRacer wrote:185/60R/14

The only thing that rubbed was the inner fender wells which I had to remove...
