While i appreciate the work and craftsmanship that went into it, im not into the paint scheme. Im sure he still has to went sand cause the orange peel is quite evident.

Either way good job! cant wait to see the real final pics.

Yep there's orange peel everywhere. of course I will wet sand it, as u can see in the recent pix, I already did some parts. I also finished installing the rest of the car, like the CF Trunk, CF mirrors, LED trunk brake, CF wing, VS badge front & rear. The air suspension is also installed.
The orange peel was caused by 8 layers of clear coat without thinner, I'm trying to get all the maximum gloss possible while burying the grafix layer. Have to wet sands like crazy.
I know many dislike all the color scheme and graphix and all but I kinda needed the attention. The car is sorta a mascot for the shop, so it have to stand out in car shows exhibition and regular meet. U know to hook up customers.

I had triple black pearl done on my Maxima with triple clear and it took my buddy forever to wet sand it. I was probably his biggest pain in the *** customer ever but then again I have sent him hundreds of thousands in business so he owed me then and still does now. I bet it looks good now.

do we know if he has a turbo installed? The intercooler doesn't mean he has one.

I see a stock airbox on there too. Could be cut up on the inside... or it could just be a stock airbox.

I guess I'm the only one thats not feeling it, but I do respect your effort put into it. I guess I prefer the clean look.

BTW, in post #39 the pass side intercooler piping seems to not be connected anywhere. Or maybe it has a sharp angle.

How many colors is your car?

I like it. It reminds me of the way my tongue looks when I eat a pack of skittles and suck on them instead of chewing on them. Taste the rainbow baby.

I think it looks great. Very creative color combination! Good work. Course that wing on the back ruined every bit of envy I had.......but in Indonesia it's probably "da bomb".
