I'm loving the hood man. Good rattle paint job. I too have delved into the redneckness of spray can paint jobs. My previous car had paint peeling off the hood, roof, and trunk, all in the center. I knew that I wasn't going to have the car for more than a yr or so, but didn't want the peeling paint and rust. I parked it in the garage, taped off some lines, sanded it, primered it w/several coats of spray can primer sanding in b/t, then white paint on top (the car was blue). I had a nice big racing stripe down the car. It added like 25 hp easy . It looked pretty good too actually, but was so ghetto. I sold it and bought the 240. I don't have any pics, lost them awhile back when my hard drive crashed

LOL leave the hood.

I like those dual halogens way better, the triple halogens look like the car is on crack.

haha, not leopard print sir. skull and crossbones. it didn't come out as well as I had hoped actually. once the material was on the door I decided it was to "busy". now it's just a matter of finding some spare time to redo it in something else.

Nice. Cool hood. I want the Origin hood with the tidal wave motif on it. Super sweet. But other than an air brushed Virgin Mary (which I may be doing to mine), the rising sun is super bad a$$.

LOL, goddammit.

I was going to get a spare white hood and do a "rising sun" on it, just to throw on the car once in awhile when I felt like being ridiculous.

Nice work.

i dig the hood that is some real work. If that's your DD, aren't you annoyed when people stare at your hood because of the appealing hood?!

so many things about that car make my head hurt.

I like the rising sun though. I allways wanted to do that on the hood of our 510 cause that would be 100% JDM Tyte YO!

ITs allright. Im sure it will look like 90 times better with some real paint.

if that's the case dude, you're taking this car way to seriously. but out of curiousity, other than the interior, which i've stated i myself have turned against, what "makes your head hurt"

I guess its pretty funny, but people that dont know you might not get the joke. I'll put it this way, I wouldnt drive the car like that.

But good work, I understand your intentions.
