Well it's finally done, just got it back last weekend. A little background, I got the car back in the beginning of May, the car was painted and the color for the flames were too suttle, you could BARELY see them. Brad the guy that painted it was also dissapointed after all his hard work so I brought the car back two weeks later to leave it for another couple months so he could re do it. Only charged me for materials the second time, what an awesome guy! Went out for a nice cruise tonight with the wife and another couple with there vette. So here are the pics, lets here how you think it turned out. I'm real happy with it

That car looks sweet
The hoods up a hair on the driver s side (stop pressing that little red button, and you'll stop twisting the frame
) , nice job on the flames (and the rest), definitly not overdone.

I really like it bro! As you said everything on it is subtle. Thats how modifications to cars should be. like it almost belongs or could of been an option from the factory. I hope everything goes smoothly.
