After a couple of weeks of enjoying the paint job you put on the car. Someone comes along and does one almost the very same...colors and all.
And to top it off they are from the same state, city, and oh yeah club!

Here is mine that I did in my garage.


Here is his that he paid for...


I mean come on WTF!!!!

 

All it takes is some ones good imaginative idea and then someone snipes it and calls it their own.

 

garage job ftw.

 

It's all good tho Chuck -- Yours turned out way better and looks much cleaner. I remember when Camelback copied Chris's first paint job to almost a tee. WTF!!!

Take it as a compliment of sorts.


On another note -- Nice "FLAT SPOT" on the right front wheel!!

 

Yours looks way better Chuck. Yours actually flows with the car.

Does suck though. I would be ____ed too.

 

Yeah, like Crispy said.. Your's flows with the car, Love it. But the xB.. Ehh..

And you did that in your garage? Impressive.

 

Yours is lower

 

Yours in fact does look way better.

 

Yup...this was the first time I actually used a paint gun. I have mastered the art of the rattle can. So I thought I give this a shot. I mean how hard can it be...I watched them paint cars all the time on PIMP my ride!

 

^^ that's awesome.

yea... yours definitely looks better.

 

lOL wowwww your looks sooo much better compared to the xb... and he paid for his job... wow

 

I gotta agree that yours looks a lot better Chuck. His does not flow with the car and just looks out of place. Whose box is it?

 

Is that xB lifted?

 

Don't sweat it, yours looks much better.

 

I like the xA better....but get some bigger wheels....i think that would make the car look 10x better

 

check out that flat spot in the front wheel of that xB!

i also like the xA better, nicely done. (now get some bigger wheels, lol)

 

Chuck FTMFW...even if he did steal my idea lol jk

 

I say leave the car as it is!!!! Since your N/A keep the wheels small that way you dont loose all your low end power.... 1.5L doesn't leave much room for torque. It looks beautiful with the tucked tires ans slammed suspension.

Wouldn't work for my application but your simple choice of parts have really grown together and it look fantastic!!

Props!!

 

Thanks for the compliment.

 

There's only so many places you can cut in for a two-tone paint scheme.

When Glenn decided to two tone that xB at Camelback and went with Hot Lava on Thundercloud it did turn out too much like Chris's box. Bryan and I had suggested a different color but did not win. We DID get approval to cut Chris a check for his materials when he decided to go to the new scheme.

Creativity is usually inspirational and while the xB is not a direct copy of your idea, you can at least know you're motivating people to want to try to do more with what they have.

Keep doing what you want on your car. Getting copied (even if only sort of copied) is nothing more than a compliment.
