That is pretty sick. Not so sure about the doors... but I guess they're alright.

I own a sign/vehicle wrap shop so I might wrap mine in matte black. Not sure yet tho.

I made fun of his doors EVERY time I had to get in it....LOL

They are cool if you're into them, but not my bag ba-by.

His car is sick, it really came out nice, last I heard he had extended my tune out and was pushing some serious power out of the BNR turbo...he hit 290 at 10 PSI with the old Esmeril snail (which was trashed and actually contacted the housing) and is now up to 14 PSI I think....

Something just changed inside of me...



How hard is it to keep looking semi-clean? Are water spots an issue?

If you use the clear coat to take the gloss out, then it is easier to maintain (use a flat clear coat).

hot rod flat black is what my gsx was painted after running primor for a year (and every other tuner car became primor...)

$1600 for hot rod flat black, $600 for the other goop and clear coat and $1200 for labor = to have someone hit it with chalk (thinking it was primor) to be cute... not so much fun.

but it looked sick wet and mean dry. if you got the $$$ by all means, but i love my green now.
