next is the gold trim around your door? I understand the idea but poorly executed the paint looks horrible. Go dip that thing in some acitone!

I understand and respect all of the candid comments. I see that maybe in the overall scheme of things that this wasn't such a great idea. It's all good. Of all the comments, the pinstripe ones I have to reply on. The "memorial" stripes are something that I had done after my mother passed away about two years ago as black and red were her favorite colors. So that's the history behind that.

this is why if you don't have nothing good or nice to say.just SHUT it,keep you smart *** comments to yourself and get out of this F*cking thread.making comments and voicing out your opinion is good. but if its nothing anywhere positive at least make it sound nice or simply put."not diggin it",or "not a fan" etc. remember that it doesnt matter what you say,its his car and his money,meaning he can do whatever the f*ck he wants with it.im sorry to hear about your mom bro.
