Wo Hoo! One of my photoshops comes to life! Thanks for the PM, and the car looks awesome! Those wheels are really going to set it off.

Someone posted a question earlier: did you you it yourself?

The Roof

yushinrt,

I knew you'd come through. (No I didn't......what am I saying???)

Anyway, I'm glad you resurfaced to vindicate yourself!

I'm predicting the roof will be the absolute most favorite thing about your project. Very creative!

How did you do it?

Michael

Roof looks incredible

I think the rotary design on the roof looks incredible, great job.

I live in the Southeastern U.S., so I see more than my fair share of camoflauged cars and trucks, mostly krylon jobs, not my cup of tea, but if you like the look, who cares what I like. Congrats on finishing or at least getting really far along on your project, and I hope all comes out well with your job situation, it can be pretty miserable in between but things almost always work out for the best in the end.

Thanks for coming back and posting

Great job on the roof, looks awesome.

Am I looking at it correctly, did you not repaint the jams?

Cammo isn't something I'd ever do to my 8, but if you like then that's all that matters.

just making sure... did you ever get it repainted after the crash? If so... this is how your paint has been?

1) winning blue
2) blue camo
3) some other solid blue
4) w/e you go with?

So is this your 3rd time repainting the car since you bought it? Or only the second?
