thanks!
I don't know what we are doing with the blue wheels yet. the owner JUST got them powder coated estoril blau!

I'm not sure if I want to do the custom job of vinyl wrapping wheels again, it takes such a long time! and this would be really hard to do on the barrels!

I think we are gonna strip the paint, and have it coated glossed black barrel, matte black lips, or the other way around. haven't decided yet.

Cool, when you find out, let me know. I'm a vinyl and flat black fiend! BTW, I am close to being the West Coast CLK version of your 55, sorry!

lol thanks guys!

Impressive Auto Center is offering Vinyl wrapping roofs, for $175. yes. $175. that's quite cheap.

Currently, I'm not offering such project, and Impressive is not offering such project as well. My car is the next "test car", because we don't want to F* up a customer's car, so we need more practice!

Mike, Come by... I think I can get you a better deal wrapping the whole car.
Frank, DRIVE HERE. I'll do it for you.

and TAXI is one of my all time favorite movies, not because it was a stupid movie, it was because of my goddess GISELLE BUNDCHEN was in it!!! she's so hawt!


oh right, back to car topic. My car will be Matte black, Wide body. not that wide, but with a 10mm spacer flushed set up.
