Ya but you have to be carefull what you wish for. I had a shop that was going to do the roll bar (as a sponsorship deal) and I said well it could use paint if you want to add your name. I gave them an idea, but had to give them some leaway with it and this was the result.

Took me a while to get used to it. It is now for sale as a roller.

Ouch. It wouldn't be too bad if it didn't have that squiggly stuff (doesn't really look like fire, more like smoke) all down the side of the car too.

Yep, not even close to what I had proposed. The original idea I had was for the bird to be all black and have faint ghost blue (dark blue) classic flames creating the outline of the bird.

But they lost one of their painters and I guess this was their chance to practice/experiment (since they were doing it for free) and I never got the roll bar which was all I really wanted (so I could race).

Likely I will end up painting it back to black.

Well, my Z didn't look that great when I got it either thanks to some moron previous owner that PAINTED ON these ugly, random green stripes!

Before


My best solution for getting rid of them for cheap was to cover them with silver vinyl which doesn't look too bad I don't think.
