Talking rexy finally made it back home!

well still kinda a crappy day so you can't see the pearl tomuch but here is the almost finished product, the reason i say almost finished is because it still needs to be buffed out. the paint guy told me to come back in a week. but here are a few pics !

Yo,


Dude, it looks schweet. About the headlights, bro, it's one of those tough things. Right now it looks like a 360 Modena, 'cause they leave the headlight surrounds body color. The only way you could really see if it looked better painted a dark color would be to use black masking tape, or electrical tape, or something to kind of rig that up. Maybe do one side, then close one eye, then open the other and see what side you think is cooler...*grin* Hey, does your car have a sunroof? Just curious.

that looks great man. allthough i think it could use some type of a spoiler. i think the stock turbo2 spoiler would look good on it.

damn thats pretty cool that would have taken me years to do!
i think i am going to stick with the red, becausee i guess you have to see it to understand what i mean but the pearl in it makes it look good, plus everyone paints theres black i have to be different

Yo Soul,


About the wing thing: I think you should keep it naked, since you're goin' for the different approach. I know that the wingless FC in Japan is pretty hip though (At least in the Option Vids I've seen), so you might have to put a wing on to be different! *grin*

Do you have any pics or URL's of the ones you're thinking of? We'll do a poll on 'em!! *grin*

Good job on you're FC. You Military out there or teaching English? Pimpin' mad ho's? Er, geisha's? *grin*

Wow...

That is one amazing car! That is a beautiful red color, and the body kit is sweet. Is there any way you can get a closer picture of the hood? I'm thinking of having a custom hood made like that eventually. Where is the hood opening placed over the engine? I think the headlights look awesome like that... and I also think they look retarded painted black! So don't listen to them =). Your car is clean AND agressive... I love it!

That shot where you can see the pearl is friggin' SWEET! That color is so badass. The fender flares look VERY tasteful as well. Damn, I'm jealous. If the car was mine, i'd paint behind the headlight glass black, and put on a spoiler, but its your damn car, and it looks sweet right now anyway, so nevermind me.
