I like the tails. I'm still debating if i want to do this on my casablanca or not.....if ever so lightly.

What spray tint did you use?

car looks good, light tint looks sexy, I would do the same, I just don't want to end up w a fixit ticket....

the car should look rpetty good w/primer black S4 wheels, though I think I would go with a factory lookying duplicolor silver....

I am not really diggin the exhaust, it looks a lil low/uneven...

clean car!...keep up the good work, I feel your pain on the humidity factor, I was spraying all of last week and it went from sunny to raining halfway through the job....

sweet i like ur idea!! can u be more specific? i was planing to do samething but so many ppl tell me so many different things. What kind of paint are you gonna use? i heard u need heat resistant paint i guess same with a primer. plus at high speed ur paint may not hold or something. Anyway good luck!! keep updating us on ur progress, maybe i'll do mine after u r done with urs. THanks
