Nice ride, the clear corners look great on your car. The rear could go a little bit lowered though. Sorry but i hate that exhaust IMO ( flame suit ready LOL). Anyways, love the paint job!

lol, pretty much factory Toyota paint with the exception of the body kit and where it was once keyed. Just lots of care and wax, lol. I still need to detail it. I'm not sure what color the engine bay is but I don't like it. It's like a dull, charcoal gray.

Wow, that's pretty impressive. Did you happen to have the whole car re-cleared when the body kit was installed? It's just looks really shiney.

Those pics make me want to paint my car that color.

Nope, the whole car wasn't re-cleared.

I have seen this car in person, and it is very beautiful. Did you take and edit these pics yourself, or did you hire a professional? We hired a Professional to do pictures of my kids yesterday, and she is photoshopping them now (Lighting, B&W, highlighting, etc.). We've seen some of them, and so far, they are outstanding pictures. Seeing her work, and your photoshoot have me thinking of one day having her do my car.

Really? Where have you seen my car? They weren't taken by a "professional", it's just his hobby.

Great looking rig you got there! Lots of hours spent on the engine bay alone to make it pop like that. Two thumbs up, for sure.
