Nice and shiney.
Thinking of picking up some red pinstripe tape and running it down the side and if I like it have it done in paint.
The Euroteck diffuser looks especially clean!

Love the car Ron. Very tasteful mods. The black benzes look SO sharp when clean...
Btw, I hate to be a copy cat but where did you get those window stickers?

Pretty cool! I thought they were just random red accents.

Phenomenal detailing and shine, paint looks very happy...
Not feeling the wheels either, the pinstripe and center cap kind of cheapen them in my opinion.
No comment (as I make a comment) on the grown ups in Halloween costumes, the space family, and the big magnet...WTF???

These go far beyond Halloween costumes they are very precise replicas of screen used props that take sometimes years and many thousands to assemble. You just can't walk into a Party City or buy one off E-Bay. Vader has cost me more than 4500.00 USD.
The space family as you call it came about because my Wife wanted a stick family like she has seen on many cars, I agreed as long as it was different. My Daughter is going to school for Graphic design and designed the family Darth (Me), Amidala (my Wife) and Leia (my Daughter) R2 is of course the dog.
The magnet makes it easy to spot anouther 501st members car when you are meeting in a crowded parking lot. We try to group together when possible. Some peoples cars are much more elaborate at least mine comes off in a matter of seconds.
Now about the 501st, we are a worldwide association of Star Wars costumers. Part of our mission is to promote an interst in both Star Wars and costuming in general. The other part and to me the more important part is giving back to the community. We do many charity events during the year from Walkathons to hospital visits. It feels so good making a sick child smile when they see us. Sure we also have fun troops like New York Comic Con but we use those events for recruitment of new members.

I'll dig them out and let you know. I am having the graphics guy make some more for some of the other 501st members families so I should have plenty. We are going to make a Stormtrooper instead of Vader for most of them.

Sorry, did not mean to insult or demean....I did not know this world even existed, thought it was some inside joke or something.
