Hey all it's me again, got the red flak and another clear on the car and I can tell the difference. Also put a hood scoop on her. I know alot of you arn't gonna like the way I painted her and made her look so please only "friendly" critism and pleasant comments. I really don't wanna hear any bashing. But anyways hope some of you like the way she looks so here are some pics....
      Thanks, ~Christina |

Wow, simply amazing. Wanna paint my car? I think the hood scoop would look nicer if it was molded in. If it sits on top of the car like that, it looks like a cheap glue-on.

That scoop REALLY needs molded. From what I can gather, this is a show car right? If you have something on your car that looks like you just smacked it on there with some double sided tape... that's gonna get some point deduction by judges. It's really apparent in pics 2 and 5. Other than that, the paint looks outstanding and incredibly blingin!

QUOTE(celicaGT96 @ Jan 13, 2006 - 4:22 AM) [snapback]377907[/snapback] what kind of clear is that?? Yes I considered moldng the hood and but, but truthfully I didn't do I because as soon as show season is over im going to get her sand blasted and gonna fully repaint her and more then liky mild the kit, I will also have fiberglass fenders and hood. And the clear coat is a PPG Shop Line, very very nice clear. |

I liked the idea of painting the front bumper red with a black lip. How come you changed your mind ?

well, I could have done that but truthfully I'm not happy with the paint job that is done now...so i figured I would leave it for this show season and then next year (end of this years show season) I just repaint her completely. Give her a new look. I liked the look that's on her but after seeing her like that for two years and plus with people wanting more and more two tone cars, I wanna change so I'll be different at shows. Plus I didn't have the time to reduealot of things I wanted to this year
