Nice! Really makes a difference. Where you get it done? The old 89 needs some paint and not sure if I want to sell it or not.

Teds89IROC 05-16-2009 04:04 PM

No, just get some amber bulbs to toss in instead of clear and you're all set :)

This post reminds me of a Billy May's commercial.
Billy Mays here with a fantastic new product. Look at this terrible paint on an IROC and look at it after i spread some of this fresh paint all over this car!


It looks really nice who painted it?

Jam 05-16-2009 08:53 PM

looks great man. lol I like how you cover up your license plate in 1/2 the pics and the other 1/2 you left it. fail.

maroman88 05-16-2009 09:11 PM

great color... looks awesome

Jersyboyy 05-16-2009 09:48 PM

Yo Chilies the first set of pics prob are his old license plate number so he wouldnt care-just a guess...

But yea man it looks good who painted it?

GrandmasterCow 05-16-2009 11:29 PM

looks very nice

dmheer08 05-16-2009 11:37 PM

loll FIRST OFF hahaha
about the billy mays thing
i impersonate billy mays SO GOOD! me and my friends laugh and joke about mays all the time

about the plates, no its still the same plate i just forgot to blank em out on the old pics one w/e i dont really care

lastly maaco in lakewood on rt88 did it. $1000 bucks flat

NJ346 05-17-2009 12:45 AM

Any work done to the motor?

dmheer08 05-17-2009 06:14 AM

the car just has small performance modifications...

edelbrock headers
msd ignition system
flowmaster 40
computer chip

not really anything big, i want to put bigger gears and a cam in it though soon maybe but the idiot kid i bought it from took the ac out does anyone know how much it costs to have a new system put in?? and who does it for a good price around here?

19iroc88 05-17-2009 10:53 AM

hey did maaco do all the prep too or did you do some cause that looks pretty good for maaco's reputation your making me consider takin a ride over there, you happy with the outcome? my cars startin to need paint and i like the sound of 1000 bucks flat

String 05-17-2009 06:52 PM

For 1000 I would imagine they would have done some prep. A guy I ran into a few weeks ago got his done there for 600 and he did the prep work himself.

dmheer08 05-17-2009 09:16 PM

Im extremely happy with the outcome, I drove the car around the way it was before it was painted for over 2 years

The only prep work I did myself, was remove the louvers,if that even counts. I choose the Supreme package ($479.99) One step below the top package which is $1000.
The supreme package includes all the prep work within that price. Any package below the supreme package you have to add on a prep-work package which costs 129, unless you do it yourself.

What made the price go up from 479, to me paying a thousand was:

Re-Paint Headlight Pockets
Remove Roll Stripes ($100)
Sand and Prime front cover
Repair Rear cover and Prime
Allaign Hood
Repair Hood dents
Repair right door ding below molding
Repair right fender rear edge

I had them mask off IROC-Z, and "TUNED PORT INJECTION"
