I've seen an FD painted like that. He's probably on the forum, but I don't know his name.

lol....honestly i expected some seriously pissed off comments. FYI, the gauge on the hood is a fuel pressure gauge. back when the car wouldnt start, i put it on because there was (still kinda is) a fuel pressure issue. i cant get the car to start without that gauge. and they cant go inside the car because its mechanical.

really not sure what to do with the wheels though.

and yes i know they are backwards but i sorta put the good tires on the rear and the bad on the front and thats how it turned out.

You should've seen it after the owner drifted in under a SEMI TRUCK going like 40mph...

The roof was frikkin' sheared off! It was the most demolished FC I've ever seen. Pictures/internet included, lol.

you know if it was an NA id probably think 'redneck' but that is bad ***. i second that motion you should definately put netting on it lol. nice job on the paint by the way, looks like actual camo unlike the guy in the pink fc. some people shouldnt be allowed to own paint guns

Looks good. I really like the look of a flat black fc, I'd do it myself if I had the *****. The best part about these kinds of paint jobs are the ease of touchup. Dog scratched the car? grap a can, food cart hit you in the parking lot? Grab a can, good at "new"

I think it would look alot better if you went with desert camo and did a better job of taping off your patterns. Now it just looks like spray paint blotches.

All you need is to install a gunrack and raise the car about 6 inches and bam

I really like it. I'll be honest, that exact thought went through my mind when deciding what to do with my paint. Screw the red, just keep it unique. I'm guessing that you used a gun, not aerosol right? It looks too good to be a rattle can job.

I'm with some of the other guys... dark painted wheels would complete the effect.

All you need is a light bar and cow catcher, then you too can be as cool as Nevsky in Moscow Heat.

A proper desert camo would look really good. Paint from the army surplus store?
Defo black those wheels tho.
(I'm talking about the FC)

Hell yeah, that would be cool. If I ever do end up getting a beater FB for the winters I'm definatly going to do that.

Now you need a little intake warning sticker on hood scoop and some piston kill decals on the sides

Here, I did a quick chop before work:

That's awesome. I think that'd be badass. Now, can we get a group buy on the "Piston Kill" stickers?
