DrFabulous · 12-03-2008, 12:35 PM

New one does look better. Bring it to the MN meet next spring

myneedforspeed · 12-03-2008, 12:44 PM

Definitely liking the new one....looks great so far

cardude007617 · 12-03-2008, 01:05 PM

yeah lookin good. the black is a better contrasting color than the white before. good job

himfanzach · 12-03-2008, 02:03 PM

Yeah that grapghite looks a hell of a lot better man

elementdrummer · 12-03-2008, 02:21 PM

Thanks guys. sorry it took so long, had to go through like 4 insurance claims. Going to get it re apraised at around 8K! Spoiler pics should be in tomorrow. Where is the mn meet located?

KhellendrosxS · 12-03-2008, 02:27 PM

Im excited to see the spoiler.

I saw a truck with a similar scheme done in orange and where it was torn it was purple underneath with a green monster thing clawing its way through. The teeth were eating out the hood, claws and feet down the sides, and tail slashing the back. It was a really nice show truck for a local body shop in a town we were working in. Im pretty sure it they named it 'split personality'. Really cool.

bigstribs · 12-03-2008, 03:52 PM

Very nice

gaowners32 · 12-03-2008, 04:58 PM

Looks nice now you have to change the headlights to something darker so they will flow again.

PhantomLover007 · 12-03-2008, 05:09 PM

Wow. The darker color sets it off NICELY! Good job man. I'm w/ Cory. It needs the black heads now and waiting to see the spoiler

tipnitty · 12-03-2008, 09:51 PM

its not bad but i'm not a fan of wild paint schemes. the paint work looks great tho

elementdrummer · 12-05-2008, 05:12 AM

Well last time was a Target parking lot so maybe Walmart this time?

jk

Anyways the new paint job looks nice but I would for sure paint the headlights to match. Darker headlights would really set off the rest of the car nicely.

lulz

I'll actually plan something, but it depends on when the Chitown meet is

elementdrummer · 12-05-2008, 02:40 PM

I was thinking bout taking them apart and painting them the charcoal metallic and taking my chrome tails and doing them the tiffani blue. I got all winter to mess around w/ it. Im glad i got the paint right this time! thanks!

tenspeed · 12-05-2008, 03:31 PM

I used vinyl on my headlights. I wanted to keep some chrome but tone them down.
