6th Gen ('00-'05): my work in progress

got it back today and took a few pics before it started to rain again
everything got fresh paint minus the hood, roof, trunk lid, and rear bumper - and you can't tell the difference unless you know about it and then you can sort of see that the hood etc are slightly faded compared to the new paint
the white you can see at the bottom is an adhesive caulking used for the new custom rockers and will dry clear and if need be ill smooth it out somehow but it shouldn't be that bad really
my script/badge was broken when he removed them but shouldn't be hard to piece it back together and since i'll be plasti dipping them again there should be no visible crack in it
any tips for reinstalling them? not sure best approach and a little worried about not getting them back to same spot but luckily I can use my brothers 01 ss to help size em up :P

looks nice!! my rust is worse, but in july my monte will be heading down the same road as yours. im getting the whole car painted tho. different color. i cant wait. im so excited! good thing you tackled the rust when you did. mine went from just a little bit to a ton in just over a year!! insane how fast the stuff spread.

Around the very outside part of the rim paint them the same color as your car. That way it will make the rim and tire not look like one then. I mean the very thin part of the rim that is lifted more then the rest of the rim.
