I see a lot of "less than positive" feedback about some mods on the CF, but you did a nice job with it all put together. Please tell me the top is not red...

The flames really turned out nice!!!! Have you managed to clean and detail the car yet. After they've been sanded and painted, there's a lot of dust everywhere huh?

That is an awesome flame job there

If you don't mind me asking for a ballpark figure, how much did that set you back?

If you had told me you were putting grey flames on a red car, I would have said you were nuts. Seeing it, I am really impressed with how it turned out. Looks very nice!
