nice set up in the back. But damn that is scary without the tint. I would be worried that it would get stolen.

That is a great stock color. I am painting mine soon, the stock white. Nice ride.

the set-up got stolen in a professional car-jacking in my basement where 35 cars got busted into.

lol

i haven't repainted the car... that was taken like a couple of months ago

i'm soon to put an ls1 supercharged into the car... i am also repainting it completely chrome (with the chromefx kit) this winter. flame all you want, but the chrome m5 is the sickest car on the road.

You are aware that those chrome cars you see at shows like SEMA and stuff dont have a clear coat right? They look insane but they are not streetable. Elements damage or a scratch, its gonna get jacked up. As soon as you put clear over it then it becomes somewhat dull, but still reflective. I think that paintjob is awesome but just keep this in mind. My friend did this to his daily driven Supra a few months ago, did a magazine shoot last month. I think this paint job is better at night, it just looks more insane than it does in the day (IMO). Also be aware that it can't be touched up and its a multiple stage paintjob with a black basecoat. You can see a pic of it here, this is what it will probably end up looking like if you plan to drive the car on the street.

Did he use the chromefx paint? I don't believe so, as I have seen the chromefx and it looks alot better than that, AND it can be waxed.
