VERY clean!

Awesome job, w0! Looks great. Good see you're mod serious. Lol.

soolman32 01-22-2009 08:58 PM

Nicely done! Very clean look.

Don@Migliore 01-22-2009 08:58 PM

Wow, that's a ton of stuff in a month! Looks good!

wrathletik1 01-22-2009 09:18 PM

That looks fabulous!! I think I like gloss black instead of matte black on our car.

HamstersG 01-22-2009 09:27 PM

Looks good. Love your tag being a transplanted Gator myself. I have been using Mike the Powerdercoater for some stuff. He is great to work with. Look forward to seeing the calipers as I am thinking of same.

Did you or are you going to paint the lower 3 fake grilles in the front bumper to match the grill?

Ivoidwarranties 01-22-2009 09:28 PM

Wow!!! You're a modding fool! I like the drop. I like the headlights. I like the grill though I think I'd experiment a little with the emblem. I like the wheels a lot! I like the taillights tinted. Did the third brake light get tinted as well? Everything flows real nice together. It looks like you really had an idea of what you were after. Nice!

thanks everyone, i really appreciate the comments.

gloss looks so much better with tinted windows and everything else on the car shiny.
