Nah it looks good ...i think since u got the shaved trunk the body shop lowered the spoiler..but looks good im liking it....thanks for the pics....
Today i started to put holes in the trunk...i glued/bondo/fiberglasses the bolts and the kept fallen after 1hr hard..and my patients ran out...with the wifey in my ear to hurry up and bar b que for the super bowl!!! Lmao.... I will just take the fiberglass to the body shop and let them work with it...im sure they got it down and have better chemicals than i do...
Oh ya...i think i found the electrical problem, i bought a multi-meter to ck the voltage to see where the short was...Nando helped me out over the phone, but we werent getting any voltage....so i just started thinking what the hell could it be....so as i had the positive already on the battery when i put the negative cable on the battery the wiper motor sounded like it wanted to move and turn on...when i hit the wiper switch they didnt work..when i bought the mally they did...i cked fuses and they were good? ..im thinking the wiper motor went out or something was going on there???so i disconnected the wiper motor and took the wiper fuse out..this was at 1pm, and left the battery connected, i went to bestbuy and get some burgers for super bowl, came back 3 1/2 hrs later and the mally turned on..
.....just came back in its 745pm know and turned on mally with no problems...so far so good. ..i think the wiper motor was running and draining my battery...usually the battery would be dead after 2-3 hrs of not turning it on..its been almost 8hrs and the battery running strong..
If the mally turns on in morning i will take to body shop and get this paint started...STAY TUNED...

Woke up this morning, went to turn on Mally after 9hours and SHES ALIVE!!!! no more dead battery 😛 , I guess it was the wiper motor staying on but not moving... 
Anyways Project Tummy Tuck is at the body shop...me and the owner went over the hole car and told him what needs to be worked on and needs to look clean...!!!
I went with a General Motor ( keeping it Gm ) Light spiral gray metalic b/c #5969, with a touch of silver flake..he will take about 3 weeks to get her done...but more like 1mth...he drove me back home in the mally and he loved the way she sounded and felt goood to get her back on the road...look at chart to see color
