Default Out with the old In with the new.lots of pics

A few months ago i had an accident where i ran into a 18wheeler tire about 4am,ouch. So i decided to change the looks of the car and also tone it down a bit. So i decided on TS kit red HOK Kandy paint and subtle ghost flames. I was very pleased with the results. Tell me what you think.

















And one before picture.

I like it. Some of the lines in the front look a little off though. That would bother me to no end.

A cleaner look for sure. Not a bit fan of the TS kit, but your car does look very nice.

i like the before, at least you would not have to worry about someone parking next in the middle of a lot and opening their doors into yours..

all joking aside...looks very nice, ghost flames are HOT

Looks great! I'm sure this is one of those paintjobs that pics never do it enough justice.

Looks Good, can't wait to see it running around STL.

Just out of Curiosity, what does a paint job like that cost?
