Looks good. I like the stripe more than I thought I would. Normally I'm not a fan of off center stripes like that, but it looks alright. The only thing I would have done different is on the passenger side front bumper, I would have brought the black straight down instead of take it under the headlight, but I also think it's because we can't see the whole front end. Get us pictures of the whole front end asap!

Looks nice. Should've fixed that left high beam though, or at least replaced the lens.

I like it!! And that black is actually the color I had in mind that I would repaint my car, if I repainted it in black. I like Ford's metallic black. But if I ever repaint my car, it'll be silver. Your friend's dad does good work though.

I would paint the extensions and side skirts silver, they look out of place being black. I'm never a fan of the triple stripes but I can dig the origanallity of how you used I with the two tone, I may steal the lines you used for the two tone. Overall nice job!

From the teaser pic the paint job raised my eyebrow but it looks really nice. Would look really sleek if all the bottom skirts were silver as well. Looks good man.

Looks good man. well what i was going for was the black ground effects would tie up with the black down the top. and the rims also do that because there black with silver lip -------------------- |
