hey serious I sent you a pm, and thanks. Hope to see you at some of the meets

My friend recently started experimenting with plasti dip this week so I was bored and thought I'd give it a go, nice thing if I decide I don't like it then I can just peel it right off, here are some prep before and after pics. Some things I learned on the emblems is to leave a open space compared to taping up to the emblem cause the tape can peel off part of the plasti from the emblem causing it not to turn out right. So I did the front twice, backs I decided not to bother for now. Later I might redo them all if I decide its something that is more permanent. I didn't do much prep because it just cleans right off the car with a rag. So here it is..

I'm digging the yellow on black scheme, looks good!

The Black on Yellow does look nice. Fairly clean R1. Drop the rice wing for a cleaner look..

99 spec wing should never be called that. you sir get a fail card

^it's not a 99 spec wing...it looks like an older racing beat type II.....

nice build though, seems like you're on the right track.

The offset on the front wheels seems a bit off, might explain the front wiring and lack of wheel well
