BTW: your JIC sideskirts are on backwards

LIke i said i'm all about function, the car goes on trailers fairly often and as it is its a pain to strap it down, so anything lower would of been nightmare....I searched and searched to see if someone had done it before and when i didin't find anyone i just decided to take the plunge and i'm happy with the results.

thanks for the kind words

with that said, color is bold for me, but the entire car complete is well done, no one can really make any complaints. good job indeed.

I don't think I've seen a better two-tone paint job.

It really gives the SC a more sporty look vs. the more luxury look or factory paint.

for trying and succeeding at something different.

Word to that. I would put a clear side-marker on. The amber does kind of contrast the like-colored paint.

But I am really digging this the more I look at it! It really looks sporty! The lines are perfect.

You pulled off what many thought was impossible.
