While I appreciate the hard work, talent, overall effort, and dedication it took to produce that car, I have to say, that is way ugly, IMO. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

Man I have got to learn how to do fiberglass. A bit overdone, but there is a lot of time in that car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Just make sure you have limo tint sun glasses when your driving that thing, I'm getting a headache just thinking of that sun glare.

Lots of time in that project...I would be afraid to scratch something on the interior, lol...I am getting my interior trim pieces painted HOK Sunrise Pearl to match my stripes, I think it will be just enough flash on the interior with out going overboard...

I'm guessing he tried to make some 20" fiberglass wheels but they didn't work.

I like the paint but the bodykit sucks *** IMO. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Also whats with the stock rims? The interior would probably send me into epileptic fits in the wrong sunlight. Exterior paint is very nice though...

Very impressive fiberglass work. Definately showcases his talents, just not my cup of tea.
