lmfao yeah its all rattle can and its going to stay that way till i get tired of it and decided to spent another 40 on paint... lol

as for the marlboro look i never even noticed i should put an oversized vinyl of a pack on the hood lol

the idea for the paint was a compromise for the wife she only likes the hatch in white she says it looks like a station wagon rear end in any other color and i love the red so i got the front half she got the rear

- Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:00 am #232567 i agree the white would be nice however i started with a red car and was going to go all red

this is what i started with

the idea was to have the whole car matching... and get rid of the black bumpers...

one i got here i realised the difference in the two reds was way too off to live with so i was going to do the whole car in red...

while i was doing the body work covering small dents with bondo half the car was primer grey and i got the idea and sprayed half of the car grey
my wife said she liked it and recommended i turn the grey, white.
i got upset because she didn't understnd why it way grey...
but we talked about it and after a few hours of playing on paint she was like this is what you should do so i taped it off and went to town
we both like it its one of a kind... i like to be different

once i get it running and start driving it i may change it but then again
how many 2 tones are out there it will set me apart from the masses
