    Glad to see you back.

    I had originally mocked mine up at two inches also. I thought it was too high. I got a second opion from Scott ( scooper ) and he thought the same. So this is where it ended up at. Which I like alot ! I used tiger hair filler to extend the end caps, then body filler to smooth them out. I do have to give Scott the credit for the idea of molding the spoiler and end caps to the body.

    Thanks, for saying Im one of the talents.

    Its a pretty bright purple in person. No matter how I photograph it, it looks blue. If you go to the link I posted you can see the color.

    So, how'd this pearl spray out? I've used the TCP branded "Hot Rod Flatz" and really liked it...

    Ivan, Thats a good one. If the time EVER happens that I get rid of it I will let you know.. It would look good sitting next to Eileen......80..... that may be about right. :p.... I already have my silver paint for the stripes, its called titanimum pearl. Cant wait to get the rest painted..... I picked up a set of crager ss wheels the other day. Not really what I want to go with but they will do for now.

    Be sure to post updated pictures of Eileen.

    How far into the trunk did you spray the color? I'm curious because I want to know where the color ends and the speckle paint begins. Looks great!

    I only sprayed into the trunk a few inches. I have something in mind for the trunk other than pant.
