You know what dude, who gives a rats @$$ what people say. If you and your old lady like it then there it is there. I think it is cool looking and I am 33 so maybe they are saying if you get all old and crotchety you wouldn't like it. So rock on dude and don't forget... Make the one thats sleeping in your bed happy who cares about the others!!!

that carb hat looks really out of place.. IMHO they only belong on top of a blower.

Re: what do you think of this paint job?

It's not too bad. I think the paint job itself would compliment a "swoopier" car with more flowing lines. Congrats on getting her done anyways, many of us criticize, but never actually do anything to our cars. Gotta give you the "brass ones that clank" award for going from video game to reality.

Re: what do you think of this paint job?

Question, did you give him a picture of what you wanted it to look like or show him that photo shop pic? I think the photo shop pic looks pretty good, why did he choose to just throw black anywhere he wanted?

Re: what do you think of this paint job?

OK I must be careful in what I say as not to be censored. But I don't look at things one dimensional, you got to have a vision if you want to be different. I think the placement could have been different but throw some 17 or 18 inch blacked out wheels lower a tad and smoke the windows out and you are good to go. Good job dude it shows SOME people still have a mind of there own and act on it. Not conform to everything everybody else says. We need more Americans that think like you!!

Sincerely,

Trey
