It came out great. I'm amazed what people pay for paint jobs. At least you got your $$ worth. (My husband paints so of course I don't pay LOL)

Car looks MEAN. We are going to need to see more pics ASAP, I'm really liking it. Any thoughts as far as continuing the stripe down the back, similar to Tony's (Nineball) Hugger Orange Car?

I thought about going down to the back but i thought it would be to much... for the back end. Have the letters in the back filled in with red and blackouts thought it would kinda throw it off a bit.
