    Looks awesome. I think the chrome really brought out more of the color, but could be due to the lighting. It makes the car look more aggressive than the chrome. Good job!

    I hate those RR tracks! I work on the other side of broadway from there and those tracks are going to wreck my car I'm convinced. Your headlights look sick btw

    You should get something to put over the spot where your license plate goes for when you take pictures

    Did you use the yellow glass tint paint or whatever they called it? I was almost thinking what blue would look like instead of black..

    Well I broke the inside plastic piece so definitely be really careful, and do really light coats otherwise is will drip! Just take your time mine took 3 days cause I had to get a new light. But easily could get it done in one day! Anyways you have wrb I think this would look sick instead of yellow!

    The blue metallic looks good. I meant making the black pieces blue and leaving it yellow metallic like yours but I might like that blue metallic better now.. :confused:
