    Re: Painted My Vehicle

    Interesting.. I agree, sort of looks like a rattle can space suit. The color throws you off, kind of looking at a foil car. (weird) Well, if you not messing with the dents, spray some clear coat on it. That will catch some eyes.

    ditch the towing package! I really liked the car in old color, but I am bit conservative.

    looks good but the shaved trunk look did not come out that graet IMO and you really shoud have fixed the dints and whatnot
