Quick Shots of the Black Beast

I had a few parts painted on my t/a and thought I'd share some quick shots of them. I'll be sure to post up cleaner pics when I have the chance to take em', it's midterms time so it's hard to get a photoshoot going on. Brief Synopsis: painted front/rear bumpers, spoiler, front license plate cover, headlight lids and bezels (!pontiac d/s), WS9 hood (clear coated both sides), side mirrors, and SLP air lid. Besides it taking nearly 3 weeks at the paintshop and being issued a speeding ticket on my way back form the shop I was very pleased with the work. and PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME I NEED A DROP OR I NEED TO PURCHASE SOME WHEELS. WHEN I CAN AFFORD IT I WILL!!

So that front plate cover is a painted bird, very nice, those decals always flake off sooner or later, car looks super clean, nice job!

it is a decal, I just had to paint the front license plate cover cause its clear coat was extremely faded, I gave the decal a coat of clear so it appears painted from two feet away. Thanks for the kind words!

the hood is from Trufiber. perfect fitment, great quality hood, and besides being on backorder for 3 - 4 months and it coming in a white gel coat I was extremely satisfied by their craftsmanship.

Sounds great. I'll probably be looking into getting one of those before too long. It looks great! What company did you buy it from? I remember seeing someone selling it on here not too long ago, but forgot who it was.

I'm extremely displeased by the "WS6 Outlaw" hood I have. It's not the one that's raised 20' in the air and looks rediculous, but just a modest 1" higher than factory WS6.

Unknown mfr, but the quality sucks (it's breaking apart in several places, and I'm extremely cautious how I close it), and the fitment is horrid. It came with the car though..
