That stance is amazing!:wow:

That car is wicked. The stance is nasty. I Love the colors and the pattern painted in. That is pretty damn cool.
In what seems to be an era of cnc'd half million dollar cars, this "appears" to be something more down to earth, but totally bada$$ at the same time.

I know I'll look like a dic$ for even saying it, but the one gig to me is the color difference of the doors from being painted blown apart. But I suck at painting so what do I know.

The color is crazy in the sun and in pictures... Its funny the other night when we were testing the car would go from black to purple to maroon back to brown as it went past.. I can assure you the doors match..

Well we have been driving the wheels off of the car and loving every minute of it.. Had a chance to take a few more pictures of the car to share with you all..

That car sits so perfect :hail:

DriverzInc 07-29-2011 12:07 PM

Wanted to tell you guys I really dig this car, and you guys did a great job on it. Sinister as all hell, great color combo, stance, everything is spot on in my book.

Not too over the top that its a turn off either. Awesome! :hail:

Rybar 07-29-2011 12:38 PM

I saw you in Chicago. I spent a lot of time looking over this car and atn to detail is by far the best I have seen on our cars. Where did you get the LED tail lights? Those are what I have been trying to make. Sweet Car!

Well deserved. Its just not a show car to look at, even though it has more detail than most show cars. Congrats!!!

ironworks 10-07-2011 08:32 AM

Congrats. I guess you don't have to clean the bugs off now that you got the big award.

tones2SS 10-11-2011 05:11 PM

Congrats! That is a great car.

Any closeup pics of the front and rear window rubber? Did you powdercoat the trim on the weatherstripping insert?

Trim was powdercoated wrinkle finish black....like a Harley Davidson cylinder.....so it had some texture.
