Something that'd be different and cheap is doing side and rear window ala 'RallyRaid/Dakar' style.
Better security of valuables in hatch if you ever leave any unattendend as they can't see them and less greenhouse effect heat in summer. Obvoius disadvantage is visibility while driving but no worse than a cube van.

I understand on pulling the engine and completly tearing apart every is an option yeah, But why go and buy a whole nother car because of the paint. Paint the engine bay black and door jams etc. then paint it what ever color you want it will still match and look good! |

Buying a new car didn't seem like a good idea to me either. I'm also in the market for new paint on my wagon and will probably have the engine bay painted gloss black like most people do but i figure if i have to pull the engine to do that I might as well pay the extra cash to get the undercarriage and engine bay all color matched as well. What are you looking at spending? I'm also interested in seeing what your price quote is. I'm just guessing a full body paint including door jams, engine bay and fully protected undercarriage is probably going to cost me around 7-12. Not to mention finding a paint and body shop that's credible.

Indecision is the key to flexibility

Point is I'm in the industry and you can take my advice or you can take imprezagirl06's who doesn't know they'll mask your wheels. I don't fix total losses. I sell them for salvage. And none of my cars have been wreaked. Questions are right here: Quote:
Most decent collision shops won't take on an all-over. I won't. Any insurance claim is more profitable w/ less headaches even at insurance labor rates and having to deal w/ their adjusters. Custom paint and restoration shops which do all-overs rightfully charge more. So who is painting it? I still bet this thread is going nowhere. You can't even choose a color yourself. Prove me wrong. Post pics of your pumpkin when its done. Last edited by DCRallyDave; 01-17-2011 at 12:20 PM. |

Dude, I just saw like 7 WRX's in the local body shop getting painted that lambo orange after you posted those pics! Now everyone's gonna have a lambo orange WRX wagon!
Haha! J/k! So I didn't know you were painting your car. As you're well aware, my car is currently getting painted, although for the wrong reason. I still haven't gotten her back from the body shop. I'm hoping this week but most likely next week. I heard that pearl white color is tough to match but the shop assured me they would do it and it would be spotless. Guess we'll see... Anyway, good luck on the painting! |
