I like the sides.

The hood reminds me of the Smoky and the Bandit hood (big bird on hood)

I miss my Liberty.

I had a Liberty rental once. And it was a HUGE POS. It got 11mpg! Thats right, eleven. My 8 has never gotten that low mileage. The little display on the roof is what calculated it.

The jeep just had its right oil change before I got it. But since it wasn't done at the dealer, they couldn't reset the "Car needs service" alert. So every time I put the key in the ignition, it made an annoying tone telling me to change the oil. Other cars that do that have a manual reset button somewhere.

It was better then a Sebring, but it was still a POS.

Dear Lord - Please don't let Raz put flames "coming out of the side vent". Thank you.

I do like the 1st 2 pics, though. The hood on the 1st is accented really nicely; the second hood is a bit too busy.

I didn't put much into the Sunlight Silver curse, but 2 close calls with cars turning left in front of me changed my mind. My wife suggested driving with my headlights on, but, I remember hating DRL's on my Suburban I had a few years ago.

I then remembered that I had re-wired my foglights to run separately from the headlights. I started using that during the day about two months ago. So far, so good.

Also, if you have a Sunlight Silver, drive it like a motorcycle, very defensively!

Update: here's some pics of the hood and side after the design has been laid. The design colors are hard to make out: its Mazda's Phantom blue color with a 1/8 white stripe. I messed up laying the line work in one portion on the passenger side, so I'll have to figure out how to fix it, but other than that I love how it came out.

And, I should get my car back on Tuesday! Yay!

I don't know... I love the fact that this will be under the clear and perfectly smooth, no edge, no chance of peeling, etc.

Well, my baby is back on the road again! they did a decent job fixing it up. Here are some new pics:









I'm going in on wednesday for a few final tweaks and minor parts. So far I'm getting nothing but rave reviews of the new paint job. I guess all is well that ends well... now if I can only get my deductible reimbursement check soon.

factory dark chrome. Look awesome when they're freshly cleaned, and still look okay with 500 miles of brake dust on them.
