Finally broke down and cleaned up the paint today....
And the new lights, with a thank-you shout-out to pepsi:
Sorry 'bout the large pics, photobucket sucks and I'm too tired to brave photoshop...

Too bad it'd cost at least $500 that I don't have, or a day's worth of labor that I really don't have. I think it's just gonna wait until next spring.

Just the passenger side fender, but the quotes I got were between $500-800. Lots of blending required to make that part match...Hood, front bumper, door, a-pillar.

That is true and Sonic Blue is more than likly not a cheap paint. I coul talk to a Friend of mine and see how much he would do it for if you don't mind... He works for Blue Line Collission in Anoka and does plenty of work out of his garage.

Yeah, definitely not a cheap paint....I think materials to get a front bumper painted last winter ran more than $150...And the body guy I used bitched about the pearl for a good 5 minutes when I picked the car up. Funny thing is, the car tends to look purple under gas-discharge sodium lamps (ie parking lots)
