Default Back from the paint shop!

Had to get my hood repainted due to the clear bra pulling off some paint when I was removing it. Figured while the car was there anyway, I would have them paint the roof and halo black. I also had them add a ghost jake skull on each side of the halo. What do you guys think?



















I also want to thank Chris at Richey Collision to the job well done!

Your car looks great but..............you got your hood repainted and not a good picture of the hood?






We need some photos of the whole car from a little further away so we can get enjoy the car as a whole.

Haha, didn't even think about really showing the hood! Pic added.

Also, I really like the Sic bumper on your car. That might be my next upgrade.

Ah, that's better. I like everything that you have done.

The Jake on the halo was a subtle but nice touch. It doesn't jump out at you. I like that.


Yes, I liked the SIC bumper too but just sold it to a forum member (he got the RaceMesh grilles too) because I did a ZR1 front end conversion.

The bra was starting to yellow, and it was covering almost half of the hood. I would recommend getting one put on though! I need to get mine redone.

The paint coming off was really due to a crap paint job on the hood when it was first installed.

The subdued Jake was a great idea. Cool and tasteful at the same time.
