Cool sneak peek: new black Blackbird stripes are on (slight 56K warning)

removed charcoal blackbird stripes and added some bolder, black ones.

no time for a nice photoshoot yet, but here's a few quick pics. in a couple of days, i'm going to repaint my CETA rear bumper mod from charcoal to black







and for comparision, here's a photo i took from the 1st day i got her in early '04, 6K miles. now she's only at 28K still. yep she's a clone of sorts I had an offer of $25K over the weekend, but just couldn't do it.

the black looks 100x better than the charcoal... the CETA will look killer in gloss black too.

I really did not think you could have made your car look any better than it already was, but I think you just did. Flows with your tint on the windows too.

Hmm, I was actually a fan of the charcoal on it because it was different and subtle....

...But your car is one of the few where I actually think it could go either way. Looks just as good this way as the other. There's even aspects of it that look better. Like you said, the black is just more bold and makes the car look "stronger". It flows well with the tint and will really be completed when you do the CETA in black. Looking good as always man.
