Nice paint job, but it seems weird a guy driving a glittery car.

hey guys, cheers for the words so far.

Yeh the paint is different, and sparkly, altho it only sparkles in direct sunlight, so the whole car never sparkles

- yeh its a different look, but iv built it to be a 1 off in the world - i.e totally original with the whole project, so no one can copy it.

The front bar - is a custom made bar, its a once off kit, originally destined for a WRX i think. and yeh, the mirrors are stock.

I hope to be running a mid 12sec 1/4 next week, will post my times and slips!

Cheers

Ben

Actually those are the same as Jspec mirrors. They are stock just not for the US cars. I like them because they can fold back for dumb *** drunks that bump into your mirrors and crack them and they are just different.

The color's nice, but I would have gone without the sparkles personally. The rest of the car is pretty sweet. Congrats.

To each their own, but that paint looks like it belongs on a 70's Cadilac with gold rims and a bottle of Crown Royal in the back window. "Pimp mobile" is all I could think... Unique? Yes.

Great job!

Personally, I don't like the color, or the wheels, but that's just me, overall, great job, err...how much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking?

That paint job must've cost over $3k easily.
