All the money in the world couldn't make me do that to my car. HOWEVER, way to be original. IMHO you were on the right track until it came to painting the side skirts and sail panels. I like the mesh in the bumper and the interior--even the seat covers! Of course, if the rears are in original form then that must look like azz.

Oh, what did you do to the wheels?

Trick,
I admire your agressiveness in being unique. Like most others, I agree with painting the white med. graphite, and when cash allows get some wheels.
I really like the trick rear bumper. You should write a how to on this.
The interior...I love the seat covers.
It looks like you took your time, and are original, and that rocks.
Have fun! cool

did it ever occur to any of you that maybe someone has been playing with photoshop and messin with our minds? ... confused

with that said, the only thing that looks 1/2 decent/interesting is the rear bumper.

I have to admit that I do not like the white additions but do give you a big thumbs up for your effort laugh . I don't think the white goes with your body paint (or at least it appears over-powering in the photos).

Bottom line: Whatever you earn for a living and the improvements you decide to apply to your vehicle are YOUR decision. If you happy with them (as I suspect you are)then congrads! You asked for opinions and I offered mine...

But it's YOURS that counts wink
