Looks awesome! I really like the design of the tears - looks artistic and planned out and original. Should look really striking in person.

Agreed. I think the colors and the fade look awesome, and the idea is flat out genious (never seen someone do a tearaway look within stripes like that), but I wish the tears were more random and visceral looking.

Tried searching for a picture but couln't find anything to describe what I was talking about.

Venturing into uncharted territory though... and overall its a huge success IMO. I think you'll get quite a few copycats in the near future.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, I wasnt sure how to do the tears, if you all saw my prior posts on the subject, I couldnt find ANYTHING like it to draw from, so, that was all from my brain. But I am completely satisfied with it. I loved my look before, but this just blows that away. I'm telling ya, the camera cant do that color justice. Different light makes it look completely different. I am supposed to have it back early in the week, at that point, I have to repaint the frame connectors, calipers, remove the TRANS AM on the doors, !molding, have the plate cover painted and then put the new emblems on. I am tired just thinking about it. Thanks again.

Actually pleased with that response. "IT" is custom.

I think shading with some airbrushing could go a long ways towards making them look like the paint of the stripes actually tearing off of the car. That first sketch looks really good. Cant wait to see the car back together and "finished."

I agree as well, just not in the budget at the moment, and dont know any good airbrushers in this area...

Great point.

I can totally see that as being a little thing that goes a long way. But so far so good and it will only get better.

nasty99WS6, that look sweet. I can't wait till you post some picks with them on the car. I think that they will look great.
