paint job looks nice and smooth but its hard to tell how good this is going to look until its on the car and trims are done. u should photoshop the whole design first just in case you change your mind...thats what i do sometimes

Frank, I'd been imagining it in my mind since you bought my grill, and I have to say it looks a lot better than I thought!

I think the pinstripes may be a tad bit overkill, but the emblems/grill/calipers will bring a lot of good contrast to otherwise mundane areas.

i think it will look good as long as you dont over do it with the orange like if you painted the rims and did like orange tint. that would be too much

Hmmm, I'm interested to see how this looks when it done. Might be kinda cool.
Trust me, I'm a technician.

thanks GreenSolara01 i think they give a good idea of what it will look like, although the pin stripe would go down on the crease above the door handle, Image Image Image............ :drinking:

i actually like what Frank is going twords, i think its going to look unique and will turn heads on the street. especially with fresh paint.
Go for it Frank! its going to look awesome. Do you still want my spare emblems ill drop them off that way you can practice on those and see how it would turn out?
