Nice paint Chris. Looks good. Should've added a body kit or a lip kit while it was in the paint booth. What's the PM VIP tail light mod?

looks great! Everyone has different opinions but i think a thin pen stripe down the side of the car would make it even better.

Thanks Chris, I'm getting a job design kit next year and repainting my car again to a different color. PM VIP tail light mod is when your lights are on, on the outters only the inside glows to match the circle light on the trunk instead of the whole outter tails being lit. i gotta show it to you in person.
