green ws6...risen from the ashes first off id like to thank joe & ernest at levries custom paint & body in weatherford tx. these guys did an outstanding job repairing & customizing my ride. they do great work and are not scared to tackle any project. they even took the time & re-sprayed the entire car just to freshen it up and fix the little blemishes from 3 yrs of wear n' tear. i was so happy with their work that i am now repping them + they will be modding & re-painting my mkiv supra. if you are near the area and need a good shop, pm me & i'll put you in touch with them.
anyways...some of you may remember that my ws6 was backed into at a stop light back in nov. here is that thread...

i decided to take a negative situation and turn into something positive. also bought a new mecham hood + wings west front & side skirt lip kit to separate myself from another guy who painted his t/a the same color. he not only painted it the same color but even got the same vette wheels after seeing some pics of my bird.
here are a few pics before the accident & repair...

Always loved your car, glad it's back together! I wish someone would figure out how to merge those 2 hoods together. Seeing them that close together makes me want to go outside and start cutting on mine.

yes that it still the plan...funny thing is every time i look for some, i find a set i would like to put on my supra instead lol. still not sure on the color or finish i really want either. suggestions anyone?
lol...i thought about cutting some extractor vents in mine before the accident. it can be done im sure.
Man I LOVE that color, but I think the hood and lip ruined it, at least for me. The best thing you could have done for that car would have been to buy some nice quality wheels. That color is "too exotic" for basic Z06 wheels. The top of the Mecham hoods look cool, but where the front meets the bumper on those things is FUGLY. My two cents.
car looks awesome! I'm still not to sure about the hood, but if you like it, that's all that matters. The front clip looks good, only thing I would've done is mold it so it cleans up the lines a little (that's what I'm doing when I get mine repainted)
I know it can be done too. I have contacted a few vendors on this site as well as a few local body shops and no one seems to have the courage. If I thought I had the skill I'd start making them.
