How about the rest of the car? It reminds me of Toyota's line of cars with the Maziora "technology" (paint jobs). http://www.maziora.com/

One of Toyota's Altezza race cars has the same type of paint job...we got a poster of it in our living room.

Wow, that's VERY color changing. I'd like to see that in
person....most of the chameleon paints I've seen are just
two color...that looks almost like a marble-chamelion!!

I'm going to have to hit Wally World and try some on some
of my projects...what brand is that paint?

I believe Walmart sells Duplicolor's Mirage paint...Autozone sells it, too.

I'd have to see it in person, but I think with the the mesh grill below and that thing above, there's too many different themes surfacing on the front of the car.

Just my .02.

If you are planning to keep your front license plate off, take out the plastic bracket. It looks tacky when you leave it like that.

Ok to answer all the questions lol..........

The paint was easy and kinda looks good when u see it in LIVE its more kinda magicly done :) I do like it but not like "its super hot".... About the mesh grille ? Yes i did fu*** up there hhahaha i will change my grille next week btw that cost me only 4$ at lowe's !! dont buy on ebay its a rip off! .........about the licence plate well i was kinda lazy to put it on but next week i will make the front different this comming saturday ..........the white thingy'z will go away .......and the cut will be perfect.....eye lids will be also replaced ......well i am kinda cheap person because i realy realy dont like people over charging for something that isn't worth it. For example i could paint my front grlle "front lip" in yellow and they would charge me like 100-150$ ....... i go to some paint shop store buy a paint for 20$ and paint it my self...................

yes about the whole car? no i would never do it my self and it is worth it 400-500$ :) ..........btw dont ever pay over 1000$ for painting the car !!!!! thats a BS!!!!

PS: one more thing if you want to see more pictures taken from different angle please go to my site www.scinergyia.com click on scion pictures go to scion xa section and you will see all stuff that i did for my xa ..........registration is NOT required ......... :no:
