I'm curious too. Someone backed into me awhile ago and I have the little waves on top of my rear bumper that I plan to get taking care of soon and thought about doing something like this.

Tell me what you think.
BTW what paint are you planning on using? I was going to spray my truck in a satin blue, but I lost interest and never got around to it but the company is hot rod flatz I believe, they have some really good deals on paint a satin clear. Be sure to post some progress pics, I have always thought a satin black WS6 would look good, but I'm kind of partial to cars that don't look like everyone elses

its satin black, hard top, and has a LS7 in it....no tire shine makes it look more badass. who needs to show when they can go? tire shine would ruin the look of that car

great idea. I like flat black or "satin black"
Looks different. Also, you dont need tire shine on a satin black car. I cleaned mine, I never slapped tons of wet shine on them unless I was at a carshow.

Here is a better pic. In person most people like it (even the ones who told me I was crazy when I told them what I was going to do). Like I said before, I love it. Pretty proud of how it turned out too since me and my dad did it. (And before someone asks, no it wasnt rattle canned.)

Actually Lambo orange it is. The painter is gonna do ghost flames coming off of the ram air ports. Like he said the flat black would look good, but why not go wild with it. It will probably be a month or two before I get it done but I'll post pics of it when it is done.

Once I get my wheels, konis, and springs a year or so down the road, I'm going to consider this. I think the look makes a car really sinister, and I think it is best served on a Formula.
