welcome...

I still think you should do a photoshoot to get good quality pics... contact Mark @ www.ecstylez.com he is very very reasonable and does great work. he took the pics of my 350 with Erika Senti... check her pics here...

http://mephoto.ecstylez.com/album.php?b=2&a=11

and ask him for the Ricky discount...

hate it hate it hate it.

but the works is truly amazing! the back end is sick as ****.... it looks amazing, and the way he even did the wheels is pretty incredible. the front is lacking compared to the back end. i feel like you should continue the abandoned old machine look to the front.

Ricky, it appears that your tires are directional tires and at least the Right Rear is mounted wrong. The Right Front looks like it is correctly mounted.

The paint looks like an amazing job. It would be interesting to see it live.

Freaggin SICK!!! I really don't dig the Iron Man on the hood. If you didn't do that you probably would have saved some cash to paint the rest
I agree that the back end is probably the best part of it. If I had 12K to blow on a paint job I'd definitely contact Airkolors.

The car does not belong to Ricky... but I'm sure gotboost got your message because he rotated the tires....

He just needs to get the undertray... LOL

It looks like a track monster that says "i'm gonna eat your brains".

You have nearly 20 pounds of clear on there? haha. Daaaaang. I just painted mine and I used about a half gallon on 3 coats of clear. Yours must look nice and deep. I'd love to see some closeups.

I would get that underbody tray ASAP too. It is very important for airflow and keeping the engine cool. Since you have over 500hp, I wouldn't be doing any extended spirited driving until the undertray is in place. I have seen 3rd gens overheat running laps on the track, and the only thing they needed to do to correct it was put the undertray back on.

Perhaps I will be able to see your new paint next year. Hopefully you can make it up to the Deals Gap Rotary Rally next year, along with Simon and the other Miami crew.
