Trying to change my approach to fanboyish members so I'll try to keep it nice.

-Please don't plasti dip the car. If it's in a body shop, chances are they have a paint booth. Keep it a base/clear color.
-Flat paint is nice on certain cars, it looks extremely cheap on a S-Chassis
-Bed liner in the cockpit? Why? You should've removed the old sound deadening and applied new aftermarket deadening, you literally added a layer of extra gunk with no benefit.
-Raceland coilovers aren't very good coilovers for the value. A used set of Megans would've been better and I don't even like Megans.

While I know you're on a budget, your purchases are very impulsive. We were all your age at some point so we kind of understand where you're coming from with wanting a cool car this very moment. The advice/critique usually comes from the experiences a lot of us have gone through so don't take it as offensive but rather, constructive.

Good luck.

Thanks for your criticism. It really does help, I am plasti dipping it with a sprayer and it will have a gloss clear coat. If i dont like it, then i will send it out to be painted. The body shop does have a paint booth but as of now they are just fixing the body. I will have to look into the floor more.

Dont plasti dip it, I rather have it how it looks now than with cheap looking dip.
Waste of time and money, good job so far!
