They're in the same building. That wagon is nuts!:willy:

Sorry matt, no pics of the wagon but the camaro is getting there...

Car goes next week for red Z-stripes done in gloss...
She is getting close...

are the wheels going to be that color?

Yep, He wants satin barrels with the red centers and we are just waiting to see if he wants the guns done in black or leave it...:thumbsup:

Whoa, whoa, whoa... I thought he said the car was gonna be murdered out! What's up with the red stripes and wheels? Change of plans?

What The Heck Happened To The Wheels. We Need A Close Up Picture Of The Wheels. I Keep Looking At The Picture And I Am Trying To Picture It With Red Stripes. First I Don't Like It, Then I Keep Looking At The Picture And I'm Starting To Like It. I'm So Confused!!

Car looks cool, despite some of the naysayers. It's definitely different. :) The stance looks really good too!

Word here at Jada Toys is that Rob used one of our cars as inspiration which is pretty rad. :D

Last we knew Jada was going to do a 1:18 toy of this car...I think Rob may have signed a deally-o with them.
Different is exactly what we are after...love it or hate it you'll rember it.:D

Ya, a slight change...Agin to the toy, all black makes a dull toy...so we and Rob decided to go ahead and spice it up a little. And give the toy and the Car some contrast. And it gives us (ASP and the Customer) a chance to go out side the lines a bit...:thumbsup:

Car went today for the red stripes, we also added the front chin spoiler on the car to...We'll get it back saturday, I'll post pics...car should be done Wednesday or Thursday....Any body around west Michigan want to check it out, it will be at the Grand Rapids Auto Rama...:thumbsup:

What are the AutoRama dates this year?

I'm really not feeling the red on the wheels. In my mind, the colours belong on retro hubcaps, not on the spokewheels. The stance is killer though.:)

11-13...

Looking good:thumbsup:


I think Im going to go up and check this one out its only an hour from my house, I was suppose to take my car up their before decided to rip it apart...lol

(I will be sure to take some pics of this camaro and post them!:) )


Paul

Let me know when you get there:cheers:

Will you be at the Detroit Autorama in March?

We're not sure if we are going to be there or not, Rogue will not be there.
Rob will have the car in L.A.

I saw the car today..... WOW.:thumbsup:
Pretty cool. here are a couple pics.

there is NO way big black is gonna fit in that thing hahah

I'm digging it. In your face

i like the car sits nice in low...but i was wondering on how the air bar with the dse mini tubs worked out....and mods with where the air bar mounts...etc...

back in the shop for final assembly.
Here is a test run of the black guns in the wheels. We are still trying to decide to leave them red... or do them black....

aww its cute!...

need some better photos... its been mostly in the murky dark in all display of it..

LOOKS REALLY GOOD! :thumbsup:

Did you clear just the stripes? Or is he going to clear the entire car? I like the car but it just looks odd to me with the clear on the stripes and no where else.

Sorry if I am criticizing, I do like the car!

Tim

Criticize at will...:captain:

Just the stripes are cleared. Same with the rims... the centers are cleared.. but the barrels are just satin. The contrast is SICK!!

Venomous Type......
We have a profesional coming to shoot it... in the meantime.. sorry but the camera phone is the best we can do for now. Very detailed pics of the build and the finalized pics will be up in a week or 2.:thumbsup:

I liked the wheels before, they should be all black instead of red, it would look much better.

Although I originally hoped the car would stay with the murdered out, all-black theme, I have to say I really like the red stripes with the black guns. They turned out nice.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about those wheels in their current state. It could be because of the camera-phone quality pictures, but it looks almost like the all-red wheels overshadow the rest of the car's appearance. I'd like to see how the wheels would look with a pattern opposite that of the stripes... all black with red gun outlines throughout. And to tie in the theme even more, maybe a thin redline on the tires? Just some food for thought... either way, the car is simply awesome, so great work! :cheers:

Bulldog...
We went through so many different color combos with the wheels....:_paranoid
A couple looked real good. Black centers with red lips... All black with a red pinstripe on the outside of the lip...ect. All looked cool in their different respects. Rob likes it this way... so it stays.. for now. Also.. there needed to be some "flare" for the toy and magazine stuff. He is pretty good at changing things. I bet this car gets 3 different sets of wheels.:lol:

Here's a test fit with the RS badge on the rear. The red is really starting to tie together.

IMO because the stripes are red with black guns, the wheels should match for consistency to the eye. Probably woulda looked better red outers with black centers... car goes from brutal red, to satin black, to the flattish black of a tire, the two off-match blacks are right near each other... woulda been less noticeable to run the red between the two blacks. Even shining the tires up with silicon spray or tire shine stuff won't quite get it there.

Not mine tho' so YMMV :cool: All red centers are too much tho'.

I've never watched the show...what's with all the guns?

guy is a mass murder that got away with murder, hence all the guns.

jk, on a more serious note I have no clue, hes just a skateboarder.

for a sec I thought you were building it for OJ! Did I say that out loud? Your right the glove didn't fit!! :_paranoid

:lol:

Rob owns a clothing company with Travis Barker called "Rogue Status".
The main logo is the gun print. Here is the myspace page.

That might not be a bad idea to have a few different sets of wheels for the car. Of course, once the toys are created to match and it graces the magazine pages, it will probably stay how it is for publicity reasons. I liked your other ideas for the wheels, but like you said, it's Rob's car and whatever makes him happy is how it should be.

What do you think about adding a redline tire to the current wheels? It would accent the red centers, while making a distinction between the black lip and the black tires. As it stands, I think the black of the tires and the outer wheel blend into each other, making the wheels look smaller than they are.

p.s. the RS badge looks good. I was surprised there wasn't a DC badge on there, but since this is for the Rogue Status brand, the double meaning badge is really cool. ;)

Bulldog...

Problem with the DC logo is.... Rogue Status is a clothing company.. and so is DC. So it wouldn't really work.

The idea of the red lips seems cool until you see it in person. Part of the cars premis is to "pop" and to do a couple out of the box things. Rob says....." Its not about being part of the game... Its about changing it." He's talking about the fact that in his neck of the woods... color matched lips, and murdered out(all black, even flat) is common and starting to get played. There are only a couple cars pushing the limit of making parts of the car "pop".

He's thinking about doing a flat royal blue 67 Fastback for his next car...:_paranoid

Damn... I like it some kind of different for sure, thats good!
How are the guns in that red paint? I can't figure that out.

Looking forward to seeing it complete....

Rob the race is on...
