that looks pretty nice, if all maacos did a job that looks that good than they wouldnt have the sketchy reputation they have. i have heard of a few maacos around the nation, from other websites, that do great jobs. And then ive seen the ones local that butchered many cars and the paint comes off when you put a piece of tape on the car and pull it off. its totally hit or miss, im sure the guys who paint the cars at maaco can do a really good job when they want to. like for a friend or something, but the average customer gets 10 dollar material, a quick run over with a scuff pad, a quick tape job and a spray and its done in two hours cause thats what that company does. There focus is on quantity. i still cant fathom the thought of you bringing an integra with a jdm front to maaco, haha...but from the pic it looks like you made out well.

it was half red half white cause of the jdm front. so i needed a quick respray to get it one color. i actually talked to yall. and got quoted 2500 for the car and bay jams. but yall had no openings. im thinkin bout goin to SoM when i get it resprayed 08 z06 blue. depends on the price.

if it doesn't have to be perfect why not just paint it yourself, its not that hard.If you don't like that idea do all the prep and bodywork yourself and haul it to maaco.
