I love the doors as they flow with the hood also. I'm also interested in how much the paint job ran and who did it?

the only thing wrong with your thread is that there isnt enough pics of it.

request: can we get a pic where the car is sitting still no doors open or hood just wanna see what it looks like behind all that stuff.

but either way badass car nice detailing just completely awesome good job!

Those realistic flames look really good. I was always skeptical of putting flames on a newer car, but you pulled it off.

That paint job looks like it could cost as much as the car itself. I LOVE IT. Good job and that entire car is just sick. Any performance mods?

Looks good man, but you need you show more pics of whats under the hood. I've seen what you have under there. Talk about attention to detail.

Wonder how those last pics would look with the vertical doors and the wheels powerdercoated dark (displaying the caliper detail even more) leaving the polished dish.

Looks stunning as is man. A work of art.
