o, ic, the front bumper is being painted back to red. I think that looks better than before. If you're showing the car, you might think about bonding the kit differently. Those rivits on the kit are horrible, I would recommend counter-sinking the rivits.

nice drawing!!
 hmmm the paint job would be toooooo similar to what you have now. If I were going to paint my car again I would do something different altogether  I have always loved dark blue & orange together...sooo if I were to custom paint my car Id make a design working those 2 colors together oooh yes *but my cars will forever be black...thats just how i like it hehe This post has been edited by amysmojo: Dec 21, 2005 - 9:10 PM --------------------  |

the color is eh, but the drawing itself is really good, i like how the lights and windows are all in proportion to one another, nothing looks odd or awkward. Idk about the striping, and id paint all the body kit the same color, dont black the skirt and paint the front and tail red.
Just and opinion tho. --------------------  Kawi Love |

well thank you all on the compliments on the drawing, the reason for the paint is because back in August I hit a ditch at like 3:30 in the morning on the way home from a show and really did some bad damage to the front bumper. I did a quicky job but in my opinion it sucks. So there for repainting the front bumper, I was playing with ideas and came across this, i like it. I will also be adding more to the car in the next week. I'll keep u all posted and get some pics up when I'm done. As for the rivits...I like the way they look now but when I go to shows even when I explain why they are there they don't agree so I'm thinking of counter sinking them. Not sure yet but well see.
Oh and sorry I forgot to add, yes the stripe is Mopar it's from the oldDodge Darts, what can I say I love the oldies......had to add some old school |

I dont think the blitz front flows with the 6th gen celica at all.
