Default New Paint

ok, sooo somehow i ran into a wall, and it paid off lol, i didn't take any pics of the progress, but needless to say, alot of work involved in front end rebuild. but she's finished (minus the gaps) and there is flake in the black, the pics don't do it justice, but Ice Red Pearl from HOK its, well AMAZING!!!!!!! gives the black a cherry look in the right light.

yeah you need some outdoor dayshots.

minus the hood gaps, it looks good. i'm not a huge fan of the hood though, they've always seemed like a bit much to me, and with it a different color it makes it stand out even more. but thats just me.

overall it does look good though. fix those gaps and post up some better shots
