much better. the pinstriping gives it much more depth, so it looks more lively.

i like the lime green theme you've got going with the car's paint/engine bay. although i do think the ceta mod would look better in black, possibly with the green pinstriping instead? just a thought...

either way, i like what you've done with the hawk where in the bay you from?

Damn it looks a lot better now man. Seems to have more depth now and doesn't look like a tacky sticker on a rare firehawk Well done and very unique.

looks a million times better! great looking hawk, but like everyone says changing the color of the ceta to a dark color would look better.

all in all great looking hawk!!!

Much better!

Still not a fan of the green, but the pin striping really brings it out!

Like the green bird but the back should be done in black, it'll make it look wider and meaner.

I love your car man. Don't see many white hawks out there, and the lime green makes it look great!

not a fan of lime green. even if it is a hawk. IMO silver would have been a better choice and then do a subtle pin stripe. but hey to each his own.
