The bags are still in the works. I have to redo my whole trunk and take out my old set up to fit the 2 compressors and the tank. Also, I've been soooo busy with all these shows, it's hard to find time to put them in. I had HIN last weekend, Autofest today, and I have a show next week out in Oxnard. Addition to that, I have a photo shoot with Autoimportcraze.com in 2 weeks, and a feature for Max it Out video this coming sat. I'll definitly be in Vegas for Autofest in May though. Hope to meet you then.
Its a celebration bitches!

naw, i dont' like it, change the paint job...
heh, naw, everything looks good. lets see, maby a little change up with the rims, the hood trim, the lights would look nice blacked out, have you thought about putting a little juice like a turbo or nitrous? well just for show.
everything looks soo nice though

I had black housing projectors before, but it made the car too dark. I also had the hood trim in chrome to bring the silver out a little more. As for rims, I had 5Zigen Fireballs in gunmetal which also made my car too dark, so I changed to the 18" axis se7en mods with the maxis lip to bring more attention to the widebody and put more silver into the car. I would go wider, but I'm already rubbing the hell out of my widebodied rear fenders. The rear rims are wider set then the fronts.
Thanks for all your comments and thanks for keeping them positive, even though I know this doens't fit all your tastes.

Here's my two cents...
I don't think those rims really go with the style of the car. Something more like
would go better in myopinion.
I'd change the chrome hood piece, and maybe get some Bomex mirrors, too.
Seriously though... your car is sick.

looks good, but i still think you need to paint the roof to match the car. it looks od with the silver roof and the rest of the car with marble paint.

The roof is painted. The name is Sparklee silver from Xotic color. I chose that color cause I wanted to do a 2-tone fade for detail in paint. If you take a close look at the pillars, you can see that the marble actually runs (like veins) under and into the sparklee silver. Above all that, the car is covered with medium blue flakes all over.
I try to stay away from being too dark cause a lot of shows are pretty dark i.e. Hot import nights, autofest afterdark, importfest, etc. And even with lots of lighting, a finish like marble doesn't get that much attention if it's dark.

lets see some pics of how it fades to the roof, because from what i can see it just looks like the paint then the roof you painted custom silver. i would like to see how you got it set up.
