Looking good. If you want to do a top flight job, remove everything you can that bolts on to the body, mirrors, bumpers, lenses, hatch, antennea, wipers, etc. The fewer pieces you have to mask off for paint lines, the less chance you have that it will show up later.

My 2nd gen was repainted before I bought it and the clearcoat is peeling around many of the edges where it was taped off instead of the parts being removed. It basicly ruins what would have been a premium paint job. Once those edges start peeling, they keep growing little by little and there isn't anyway to stop them short of sanding them down and repainting both the base and clearcoat.
