Finally got my car back from paint...let me know what ya think...

Well boys here she is...Ive been waiting for awhile but I am really happy with how it turned out. I havent been able to find a epoxy yet that the grill for the SS hood will stay on the fiberglass hood, everything else is done though. I would love to hear your opinons...

I love the red, the hood, the wheels, and the spoiler, and would still look into painting the headlights black. I'm not a fan of the stripes though.. <-- err scratch the get banned smiley.

Re: Finally got my car back from paint...let me know what ya think...

overall it looks really sweet. but i have to agree about the flames. i like the spoiler and the hood. the wheels i prolly would'nt have chosen them but i'll bet they look cool spinning down the road.

as long as ur happy with it. its nice to have a complete looking car.
good job.

One of the side pieces didnt fit snug up against the body at all, my painter cut it and made it fit though.

Not a big flames guy, but it looks good!
Not really into the rims though, everything else looks good.

Re: Finally got my car back from paint...let me know what ya think...

Good looking car; I'm jealous. Have to agree on the flames, they detract from the look of the car..perhaps if they had been ghost flames. I'm glad to hear you had relative success with the spoiler as most posts I've seen on here haven't. I've been a big fan of that spoiler since I first seen it years ago when it was carried by Unlimited Products. Even with the issues people have had with it, I'll still get one. It's a remake of an aftermarket product, so it's bound to have some fitment issues.
