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...

Damn dude, you put a lot of trust in your friend's and the body shop guy deciding what to do.. But, Kenny seems to do some great work, I bet it took a lot of time and patience for him to do the lettering and the Mazda emblem that clean! Any case, keep us updated on your ride and keep up the good work!

Actually the body shop (KEnny) & I had discussed color schemes...he understood I want soemthing not too sporty looking and more vip looking. we threw ideas around. The I ultimately told him make it pretty amaze me because I am going to give you HUGE props on line...so the pressure was onhim to come up w/something awesome. Chrism (my buddy) and kenny were talking throwing ideas around and then kenny decided to look at chris engine cover since he did his as well and thought about how to make mine a lil differant and great...

Whalla it is what you see now and yes i did put allot of trust into them and mainly in Kenny but he is that good....and chris knows my steez so they colabo'ed and came up w/it and I am extrememly happy w/it.

Much props to Kenny and his crew @ East Side. So anyone who is interested and wants to go to him by all means holla and i'll get u the info...we got a guy from CT that drove down for his services...and I have nothing but confidence that he will be a happy man when he picks up.

it was funny to see eddy's reaction when he saw my CT plates. but as i told him and kenny, if you find a shop that does good work and on top of that has great pricing, it's worth the drive. even if it is in jersey :spank:

snowflakes 04-14-2008 05:44 PM

its ORANGE no matter what you say... LOL.

llzjayarzll 04-14-2008 05:55 PM

klepto 04-14-2008 07:18 PM

CoNsRx7 04-14-2008 07:59 PM

make sure you get enough padding for the farts.. LOL

onefatsurfer 04-14-2008 09:14 PM

I've wanted to paint my car that exact color since I bought one in Forza and painted it that color in the game.. That is sick. I want to get orange base coat, copper metallic flakes and pearl clear-coat.

Anyway, nice work.. Looks great

Kel Rx8 04-14-2008 09:49 PM

as usual kenny does another great job for us. the time he puts into these and paint is just for us.

Art I saw your baby there I see what you meant about the wheels :)
p.s have kenny paint that too j/K :) and thanks for driving down here I will make sure to tell Eddie to give you a little bit more elbow grease when waxing it for you.

as for me kenny hasnt seen much action form me since I longer plan on modding the car.

kel - thanks for looking out for me. i'm sitting here like a little kid just waiting for it to all be complete. that, and getting it home again to rotate those wheels. doh... :)

klepto 04-15-2008 08:24 AM

Art I was the same way when I dropped off the 8 for the body work. Then I felt the same way when i left the engine cover especially since i had no clue what i was in store for....

But when you get it you'll see right away it was well worth the wait. Kenny is absolutely great at what he does and his staff deff puts in the work as well.

chrism 04-15-2008 08:54 AM

should i take pics?.....im going there in a few to drop off another client to him

klepto 04-15-2008 09:04 AM

LOL...Kenny is going to become wealthy over night litterally w/all the mazda clients he gets, lol.

I'm actually conteplating delaying the rims a bit longer and finishing off the exterior but we shall see how I feel, lol. I want wheels bad, lol.

Clavius 04-15-2008 09:17 AM

pics would be great and you can throw them in the other thread i had going so it doesn't hijack poor klepto's thread (too late?) :) if you don't have time or don't get a chance to that's cool but thursday can't come soon enough for me.

klepto 04-15-2008 09:36 AM

clav nah bro it isn't gonna follow into the cabin, lol...I'm keeping it VIP. The engine is just a lil something to gain interest at shows.

Art Chris left to kennys already I dunno if he got themessage but I'll let him know.

Razz1 04-15-2008 09:39 AM

You could have cleaned that aluminum plate before you showed us.

I like that color.

Now you have to do some more matching.


Until someone can show me some hooters pop out when they open da hood. I'm not too interested their BLing.

Mu ha ha...............
