Smile BEFORE & AFTER! (Not what you'd expect)

Before (as of one week ago exactly):













After:











The car was parked on the street. She backed out of her driveway, obviously distracted my something, and rammed my car. Same spot I had been parking in for the last 1.5 years. On the bright side... at least she didn't hit my Amuse R1

Soooo... $3900 (CDN) estimate later... can anyone say Monte Carlo Blue? Just an idea I'm considering

Sorry to see that. Gorgeous car - Just make sure the repairs are up to your standards. And IMO, keep it SSM. Think of all the stuff that wont be painted (under carpeting, behind panels, engine bay, etc..) and if it were - BIG MONEY paint job. A more realistic 'upgrade' would be Seibon fenders - aggressive, but clean.

Rear quarter needs to be blended as well....

As for the colour change idea... I have the space and all necessary tools to strip the car, flat bed it to the paint shop, and get it sprayed properly

no masking necessary - the only way I'd approach it

I've always wanted a blue one, but I really didn't like Suzuka or Laguna

Well MCB is THE BEST blue to be put on an S2000 and it would look great. Its your call, but the SSM looks great!
