be sure you cover the rims good. paint dust can easely get everywhere and later its annoying to clean the rims.

Can't wait to see it buffed out and in the sunlight.
Looks awesome. All the prepwork paid off, hey.
How do you like it. You can see it in person, we can't.

I love the color. The pearl and candy really make the paint "glow" and it looks several inches deep. Tommy truly is a master.

I don't think i could ever ask you seriously how much you've spent just on the body and exterior modifications alone, never mind the interior.!!!
But, no matter what it may have cost it is going to be one sweet ride.
Congratulations. Another milestone made.
Keep going.

You could always tell that this car was going to be eye catching and different early on, but seeing it all in one color now, gives a person sense of how your re-design really works well with the lines on the Riv. This car is exceptional, the attention to detail will blow peoples minds. And once all the trim is added, the car will be a real show stopper. Well done guys, I can't wait to see it put together! clap

I'm just guessing based on previously in the thread. Maybe with 2 sets I can do my own "group buy" smile or get a break with shipping. It would be later in the summer when I would contact about it though , since it's a lump of money...
