Default My New Manta & CME...so pretty!

My buddy and I were bored yesterday so we went out and shot a few beauty pics of Val and her new Manta!! (I know, I need clear corners)

Next week we will shoot her again, AND I've just installed a set of blacked out clears!

Oh, and my CME got installed. Next week i'll have pics of EVERYTHING!!!

I just needed to share, thanks for reading!

Oh, gotcha. It's actually in the Burbank hills. That mountain range you can see in the distance is the back side of the "HOLLYWOOD" sign.

lol, I DID touch the headlights. I did the "whistler mod" to them. They're actually really hazy, but i'm buffing the hell out of them so you can see the paint in there.

I'll have more pics of the valenca this week. I actually decided to blend the valance in to the rear bumber, and make it one color, red. But I'm also debating going with it gloss black and continuing it on the lower sides of the car as well (the rockers/kick panels), as there's a natural line there......we'll see.

Sorry to break your heart, i went with the one color, but as I stated above...i'm also debating to 2-toning the car now....we'll see. The blending job that my guy did to the valence and bumper look REAL good. It'll look like one factory piece!
