It really looks kind of cool. Not sure if I would paint my T/A like that, but it would get my attension going down the road.

I like them both, but I like #1 more because I think that the orange in #2 is two deep and takes away from the yellow.

I have been thinking of something that extreme too. Nice job whoever did that!

I think BOTH would look pretty HARD CORE!
But if I had to choose, I'd go with #2. I like the orange fade.

Yeah, I definately like the first better, The deep gloss black in the back brings out the look, I'm not a big fan of the rims though
