i'd like to point out that u spelt "ad" wrong

oh: "that's so not a turn on - Green"

nuh seriously, it doesnt look bad from the photos at all, btw love the front bar. i guess i'll just have to ooOO arr over it ast chelly's formal.

funny thing is... thats the shade of blue (yes i know it's green but u know what i mean) i want for my respray.

p.s. how much did it cost?

yea i reckon it looks pretty hektik man, u wanted to look different and you definitely achieved that

Thanks guys. its the first car i have eva got painted and i cant tell you how awesome it is too customise your car this way. definitly the best 4k i have eva spent. All up it cost me $5600 but thats for paint, front bar, side skirts, spoiler removal (welding up the holes), Shaving the door locks, shaving the boot look and fixing the rust bubbles on top of the roof. It was done by DMD in brisbane and the work is to a very good standard and yes they can supply bozz speed front bars unlike some1 else said in another topic.

also the photo's dont really do the paint job justice.

Its soooooo shinnnyyyyyy

So what sort of rims you going to put on? I'm guessing chrome or polish to complete the blink factor

well i havnt ordered any rims yet but i went into a shop today and got them to put on these 5 spoke rims exactly like the maroon on here

but they were chrome instead of that powder coated silver. they looked great but still a little unsure i want try a few different types before i buy

looks hot, I love it!

If only you'd have got door poppers and removed the door handles all together, that'd be tight! hehe

how to do it?
are you using the same wiper? it looks great but too it seems to me bit small to cover adequate visible area

think he used the same wiper, coverage (judging from the dirt mark on there when i saw it on the cruise lol) is the same as what the one normal wiper would, but i think he just moved it a little so it doesnt cover the bottom anymore but covers a bit more of the actualy viewing area.

i think.. just remove the driver side, and turn take the passenger side one off then put it back on a few notchs off.

correct me if i'm wrong simon
