RE: its finally getting painted ! (update pix 56k nono)
 

I think the paint looks really good, way better then the flat black. Nice job, lets see the lip kit on it. BTW the very first pic you have of the car, with the blitz kit,I think it looks pretty sweet.

RE: its finally getting painted ! (update pix 56k nono)
 

thanks for the kind words mill$ i liked that kit too but it got old too quick for me

RE: its finally getting painted ! (update pix 56k nono)

RE: its finally getting painted ! (update pix 56k nono)
 

i know bro, thanks for the nice comment tony, im actually exited, my car actually looks like a car instead of a chalk board

RE: its finally getting painted ! (update pix 56k nono)
 

Where did you find the legal % for the tint? I heard 50% for the front windows and 35% for the back 3 windows. How much did you pay for it?

RE: its finally getting painted ! (update pix 56k nono)
 

yeah dude i meant to say 35% on the back.... oopsie

RE: its finally getting painted ! (update pix 56k nono)

+1 ftw!I have to agree with everyone on this thread. Awsome car! I also like the change from the first pic to the last, I think that body kit was a bit much for the car.
