Nice transformation. Why not start with a black car? Where the door jams and engine bay painted as well?

It still amazes me how much difference just the tint makes. That was my first stop, too, and it was a huge change in the way the car looks. Especially on teh sexiest color.

^^Yeah kinda like the diet pill "before" shot where the guy slouches and puffs out his gut.

^Now I'm obsessively looking at other people's brakes, and it turns out they all look like crap.
