Or you could update your pics for the rest of the world that is not lucky enough to live within driving distance of sevenstock. .

Note: I'm not speaking for myself since I live in in San Diego.

Fumanchu,

I don't know you but I'm begining to hate you.. I wanted those since Wael had them.. He didn't want to sell it to me because he was going to sell it with his car.. i thought about buying his car because of those things..... well, not just those lights..

And than, I bought Wael's stereo from Fritz and I didn't think he was going to get rid of the lights... than he sell it to you and you sold it to someone else..

I guess I wasn't meant to have these lights.. I've acturally talked to Wael and he said he would help.. Oh well, I'm just going to wait and see if Garfinkle will come out with something..

Sorry Phil. They are some badass lights if it makes you feel any better. Why don't you and Ramy put your heads together and make them? I told him I would help the best I can.

the paint gun plays more of a part to good paint job. more so than any of the factors being discusssed here.

I'm not sure where you got that idea. I know people who can lay down a better paint job with an $80 gun than some can with a $600 gun. Once you spend a reasonable amount on the equipment and materials, it's all about painter skill.

Kinda like any race car. You can have a great car, great crew, great set-up but if the driver sucks your not winning any races.

A great paint job is a system, it requires great, materials, prep, equipment and painter skill to be a great job.

Skip on any one of those things and you'll have a paint job that is somewhere in between crummy and good .

well, he has 3 spray guns... he told me they costed him about $300 a peice or something like that...

yes, its almost done... i hope to get everything finished by this saturday.. i also have to take out the complete lower part of the interior to change the tan carpet to a new black one that i bought..

jimlab, your very right... that was part of the reason that i went with this guy. he was a painter in Germany until he came here about 5 years ago.. he was painting since he was 14 and now he's 39 so..... yea.....

turbojeff, i agree with you completely, the paint is only as good as whats underneath it.. (material and time)

also, the rear bumper needed some Bondo to close off the holes for the emblem and it took him a few day's to get some... he had the regular kind but said he wanted to buy the flexable one so it doesnt crack later... thats about the only delay i had so far... everything is on schedule..
