My name is Dan and wife is Jacki. Thank you for all the complements on the ride. A year ago when I returned from overseas we decided that we wanted to do something unique to the car (Paint). Jacki originally wanted a panther, but I could not picture it. She loved wolves and we had a photo that I always liked that I thought might work well on the hood of our TA.
What we were thinking is that the nose could be the intake of the hood. Found the painter and said "what the hell" the worse that could happen is that we paint it again.
As for the wheels and rotors -- I agree. I won the wheels on EBay accidentally (Granted I like them), I was going for original chrome WS6 wheels. I am thinking that we might be changing them before the Hot Rod Power tour this year. Rotors are definitely being changed, they really suck.
As requested here are some photo's.

There is actually about 3 different shades of blue and a magenta(Purple) in it. Everything was done by hand except for the circle of the moon. That he used a stencile for a round circle and then did everything else by hand. Very very talented.

Unless Im missing something, those arent Firehawk rims, they are the stock rims for '98-00 WS6's. As far as I know, the only rims that came on WS6s that are the same as Firehawks are the Speedline rims of the LT1 Firehawk that was put on the '02 WS6, which is what i have.
