the color on the wheels needs to be changed to the same color of the car.

not bad tho i actually kinda like it.

notsoaveragej0e · 11-18-2009, 03:36 PM

there is a giant **** on the side of your car...

see what I did thar?

Looks like you put a lot of time and money into it though, so that's cool... did the school pay you to do that?

zukiracer19 · 11-18-2009, 04:34 PM

rims are fine they actually let the other colors flow instead of one solid color.

AaronGTR · 11-18-2009, 05:02 PM

Big graphic chicken on the side looks kinda weird... but hey it's a theme car and goes perfectly with the rest of the theme so what the hay. Workmanship on the rest of the car looks great! It's funny, I just saw a Virginia Tech Hokies t-shirt come through the place I'm working today.

SikMindz · 11-18-2009, 05:17 PM

Amazing. Purpose built and well pulled off IMO.

Not particularly my style but you made your goals very clear in the build of this car and it's really great to see it finally come together. While others will complain about the stickers blah blah blah, I'd put your car in the top 15 of this site for effort put forth and really thought out. Great work!

nice ride man, i saw it on the interwebs somewhere... lookin real sharp.

alerored04 · 11-18-2009, 06:06 PM

Not a big fan of theme cars but you pulled this off very well. Well enough that I like it despite myself, so that has got to be a big A+ for you. Great choice on the wheels and the offset color on the lip. Very well thought out and executed.

ryanbgb22 · 11-18-2009, 07:31 PM

I like the wheels.

[ChaosweaveR] · 11-19-2009, 10:57 AM

If the lip was the same color as the car, they'll flow a lot better. I'd nab a dufferent set of headlights and a drop. A drop will really make those wheels pop.

SSRacer · 11-19-2009, 11:02 AM

Nice work. Still needs the SC/T spoiler and a drop.

It's actually the exact same paint code. They match identically in person. The color used on the vinyl decal is also a match to the paint code (but different material so it shows different.

I definitely hope to find some better headlights, and dropping it is in the future. I also hope to get some maroon/orange powder-coated pads/calipers (maybe big brake kit?)

It's getting there.

Nice work bro

SpyhunteR · 11-27-2009, 05:37 PM

I take it you either go there or are a fan of the place or both.

GA_mayne · 11-27-2009, 08:41 PM

Great job. I love it.

PhantomLover007 · 11-27-2009, 10:12 PM

Some hellified workmanship.

GrandAmMe · 11-27-2009, 10:53 PM

Nice job!

2003SCT · 11-28-2009, 12:40 AM

The quality of workmanship seems to be pretty impressive and for that I give you major points. And while I don't follow college sports per se, I would assume that rabid VT fans must love seeing that at the games. Usually, the college supporter cars (at least the ones I have seen) are a beater with two cans of spray paint and a case of Bud Light in the trunk so this one is in a different world. I know that you probably spent a perverse amount of money on it but hey, everyone has their passions.
