New Paint & Hood Pictures

[gdub081]

I finally had the racing stripes repainted in DSG and installed a keystone shaker hood last week and just picked her up from the shop. I was going to go with a Cobra R hood but it would not fit right so I went with the shaker and I am glad it worked out like it did. The painter is one of the best in the region and I asked him for some subtle ghost flames in the stripes up the hood and think it came out great, let me know what you guys think.

When I purchased in June 07:


Temporary stripe fix:


Final Product(for now):

Looks killer.:thumbsup: Have him run the stripes to the bottom of the bumper to finish it off.

 

[Slider]

Much better. Looks really good.

Thanks guys, I never really liked the stripes down the bumpers so I left them alone.

This has never made sense to me. With all the people putting stripes on there L why don't they go from top to bottom? I mean do the bumpers too? It looks great but to me always seems like an unfinished product. Can someone enlighten me on this.

The front bumper is Huge on the L and I think it looks like Bubba from Forest Gump when its painted. Just my thought. I stared at the Purple L with stripes for hours before I decided what to do

Thanks fellas, I was kind of worried how the flames would come out. At an angle you cant even see them but stand out well from straight ahead.

Looks awesome. Always loved the L with a shaker hood on it. and the flames came out perfect. not to much, not to little.
If I were you, I'd be estatic with the final product.

Thanks Shaggy, I love the way it came out. The bright white stripes were too much for me and DSG was just the color I needed to make it more subtle.

I guess I should throw a plug out for the paint shop if the mods don't mind. http://www.razorcustompaint.com/ They just got done painting a VT memorial bike that will be auctioned off for the fund and is supposed to be on some discovery channel special. If anyone near here needs any paint work or vinyl these guys are top notch.

Looks really good, I like it! Now with some DSG on there it'll be faster too. ;-)
