Thanks to Kenny @ East Side Collision...in NJ he is awsome...thanks bro I love it can't wait to finish off the look when I go in for a lil surgery on my rear....stay tuned. In the mean time enjoy the following...

It's not oragne...it's a copper pearl w/gold flakes....YUMMY

 

That color looks amazing!

 

very very sexy my friend....outside subtle.....inside BAM!

 

any plans to paint the rest?


i wish this kenny was closer i would have him do a full respray of my car.

 

Yeah Im gonna finish the entire look in June when i take my 8 in for some surgery...CHEESE.

 

bro that is hotttttttttttttt

 

still think you should gotten hot pink it suit you perfecy jeff

 

thanks cliff and dave shut up bro, lol...

 

Very nice! Can't wait to see what else is done to complete the theme.

 

Nice! I'm on the fence about the orange grill parts, I don't know if I like it orange or if I would like it if it were black. Either way, you decided on it and I'm sure you like it the way it is!

 

thanks bro....I can't wait either....The reason I'm finishing off in June is because I'm gonna try to get my wheels in May, lol. If not I could switch it and finish off the engine and my surgery on the rear end in May and wheels in June...but I want wheels so bad, lol.

 

ЯX-8 actually I didn't pick the color scheme. I left that creative liberty to my body shop guy Kenny over at East Side Collison. Between him and Chrism they came up w/the color scheme and I am very pleased to be honest.

I basically told him listen I'm going for a VIP look. SO no silver at all. We were gonna do gold same concept...but after the guys discussed this is what I got and I am happy w/it. The vents on the cover were all Kennys idea. If you look @ Chrism's engine cover kenny did a hell of a good job on it so he looked at chris's while trying to figure out what to do to mine and the light bulb lite up and the rest is history. I trust Kenny 100% w/the deicisons he makes...he does excellent work and can't wait to drop my 8 off to him soon...

 

The whole car that color would look awesome

 

subtlety is key........

 

take it down. i know it's not ME but i made the drive down there. he's just that good....

 

Agreed...I saw his car there waiting to be brought into the shop and I saw all his goodies there....can't wait to see it dude.

 

jeff i cant stop looking at the pictures! it came out amazing. now you have me reconsidering what i was going to do

 

LMAO....Cliff actually after seeing your engine cover it sparked an idea for my intake cover...have to speak to Kenny to see if it is doable, which Im sure it is and Im sure he can make happen.

 

you, chris, kel, cliff, and kenny's shop are going to be the death of my wallet.

the engine cover came out really nice.

 

That's ****** sick bro. Good Lookin indeed.

 

CTrx8, lol....he is worth it bro....
