Looks good, Aaron. Reminds me of a more aggressive Scudetto grille.

^ Yea, but feedback on a part in progress should be different. It's not like he said "here's my finished part, what do you think?"

i never complained about feed back....so ya...might want to take up on reading skills there buddy, it fine to sit a point out how bad things are..ok, ill admit, the paint aint perfect..but its a temp thing....itll be fixed over time.

your opinion is fine with me...but dont act like a ____ing genious on modding,painting and fiberglassing, thats all i got for you.

oh ya, the over spray is a bit annoying, but the drivers side corner was my test to see if i was gonna like my paint design. i may sand it back down and repaint to flat black till i can get the paint for red and gray

. i sanded th car down and primed it then painted it flat black, its just dirty in picks, the roads here in ak are horribly dirt, they use dirt and sand, no salt at all cause of moose licking the roads

when I PCS to the lower 48 this summer, i got some friends that are going to help me paint my xB the right way and make it hella better, lol, just being in AK where you get your car sand blasted every summer, no use in getting it properly painted yet...waste of money.

Umm the guy lives in the middle of nowhere alaska.
Alot of projects look horrible until they are completed but don't say it looks horrible when its not finished.


To the OP, props to the good custom work & always positive vibe in responses on here and the other site.
