ur crazy mannnnn. awesome carr

Green///Hell · 03-22-2010, 01:14 AM

Best part about a wrap I guess, but still looks good

I know your orange got a ton of hate with the black and orange theme but I was a fan of it. Sad to see it go

ooowowizstev · 03-22-2010, 01:45 AM

I loved your matte white.

Retroxi23 · 03-22-2010, 01:58 AM

what kind of side mount is that lolol? (i know its a dumb question)

Dengel · 03-22-2010, 02:14 AM

matte white with black hre's was ftw. I love the headlights by the way.

leeor · 03-22-2010, 02:18 AM

looks good

yamazaho · 03-22-2010, 02:53 AM

For some reason I like the matte orange look....

Maseroche · 03-22-2010, 03:29 AM

Orange looked good but then you're not exactly starting out with something hideous. They all look good mate.

MrHarris · 03-22-2010, 04:10 AM

matte orange looked sick. i think you had it out around Halloween time which maybe turned a lot of people off.

bavarian19 · 03-22-2010, 05:54 AM

not a big fan of those wheels though...

T89 · 03-22-2010, 08:01 AM

OEM is best IMO

A-Man · 03-22-2010, 08:26 AM

first time i'v seen the 3D lip painted.. looks nice..

OEM always looks good..

KiokenM3 · 03-22-2010, 08:47 AM

loved the matte white, not feeling the white lips

Donbona · 03-22-2010, 09:16 AM

Looks good all round

... I just think the front diff should have stayed black.

SlammedR8 · 03-22-2010, 09:21 AM

Matte and OEM are the best.

but lose the side mount plate, if you have to run the plate because of local laws, thats cool. But just mount it properly in the middle of the bumper, its more of an eyesore when it sits on the side like that.

catch · 03-22-2010, 09:31 AM

i like it through all the stages

pittsy · 03-22-2010, 09:44 AM

Looks good, I like the matte white but the orange was by far my favorite.

ersin · 03-22-2010, 10:02 AM

Go back to orange. Then if the someone is chasing you, get far ahead, pull over hiding in the weeds, and peel the orange. Don't forget to flip the license plate too. Get back on the road and they'll never find you.

PIMP "E" · 03-22-2010, 01:24 PM

nice, that orange was a good idea

SlammedR8 · 03-22-2010, 01:45 PM

WOW!

All of a sudden so much love for the orange, I remember when the OP posted the first time with the orange vinyl and the hate he was getting. The orange isnt bad, its all the black vinyl that sucked

tightie · 03-22-2010, 02:53 PM

i think it looks the best right now.. nice job.
