headlight covers have been off for a year now.

Joe did an amazing job on the car this time. i love it. the pics do NO justice to this paint work. the purple is nuts..looks purple one second and blue the next.

wish there was some sunlight the metallic in the purple/blue is beyond deep.

The new paint looks awesome! I love the edges of the green flames.

Nice to see you chose the Sunoco. Great looking hood.

I like the mix of the pinstriping on the edges of the two color flames, the smooth/straight & the sketched/scribbled effect.
Rather than doing one style on both colors, it appears to add a second personality to it.
However, I think a maroon/burgundy would have been a better color instead of the green.
(It is green right? Or is my color-blindness screwing me over?)

she's the girlfriend of some jagoff buddy of mine i have no idea where brandon got his hands on that picture, must have been on Neal's pics page where the others got hosted.

i can't go with you guys tonite, company holiday party tonite ie-we all get smashed out of our minds on my CEO's dime then pass out in hotel rooms.

i wish one more track trip made a couple blasts thursday on lunch when Mike took these pics, car saw a clean 12 PSI and was FLYING in this weather.

the purple/blue changes between purple and blue depending on the light and how you are looking at it, its wild.

The green was a good choice, really sets that effect off when you see the car in person, trust me
