    Some photo chopping of my car

    This is what I want my car to be when I am finished with it. well this plus some kind of lip and skirts and whatnot around the body.

    very nice Mario... ..very nice indeed. I like that a lot.

    ...but I hope that when you do get your car painted that color (which IMO I like better then black too) do make sure they do the door jambs too. Might I suggest just little very subtle hints of red somewhere outside just to help balance out the red interior.

    I could be wrong though, let's get some thoughs from the show pro's Pearl, TK, Ryan... am I way off my mark here?

    nah.. actually those tails are mad easy to make if you know how... but the rails would look better if you kept em red and not clear.. red underbody neons would look nice too... with a kill switch so yuo dont have to have them on all the time.. and i agree, that would look better if black

    thats tight mario. nice work man. could somebody actually put together a working mokup (think i spelled that wrong)? I do realize its photo chopping, but it blends well enough that it looks possible.

    Wow, that looks really nice, the color is very unique but I really like it a lot - I like that color a lot better than black. I don't know what it is, but I just think it looks so sweet. And the tails look better then I would have ever thought on our car too.

    Hell yes I am going to try to put in the corvettes. but due to expsense I may just settle for a round Red tail light. I have a few hand drawings im working on. and as many of you said I also agree it would look slick in black. I am just debating. cause if I get it painted my uncle is going to make me paint. im apprenticing with him. i might screw up up if I tried black. oh well. I will do some more photo chopping and see what it looks like in black. thanks for all the advice!
