removing/shaving the rear side markers and filling the fender antenna hole.
Then will find a decent shop that is willing to paint over my own prep. (I
understand some picky places don't want to stake there rep on unknown
previous work) My expectations are adjusted accordingly, however and I just
want take my time and learn while being carefull. In the end saving myself
a couple thousand dollars vs. a major complete job at one of the more
reputable places in town. I have some B&N gift cards burning a hole in my
pocket. Anyone have any rec's for a good refference for DIY stuff like this?
Or even a little encourgement..... I would classify my self as a carefull
patient, novice, if that helps
Thanks
