Very nice work there!

My only suggestion would be to hit up keytechniques here on SL and order one of his rear wiper delete plugs. It sure would clean up the rear hatch.

Here's info: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...893&highlight=
He might even be able to get you one unpainted ,so you can work your magic on ot and have it match your box exactly.

Once again, very nice!

Thanks Guy ,Guess what i just got off the phone with my boss a few mins ago,I was told my scion is not allowed at work no more because of the paint job. Honesty i bet its because its to low to the ground too. I work where they design computer chips . i was told i cant park it in the back lot or anyplace . Now i have to decied what too do .
they said the paint job stands out too much , I know its not my boss doing this its the building magnager .

why would it matter what a car in the parking lot looks like ? that doesn't even make sense.


being too low why would that matter to them ? i'm confused.

or just tell them it's unfair descrimination and that unless anything regarding what cars can and cannot be parked in ther parking lot was in your contract they cannot forbid you from parking there.

x2

how petty is society becoming?

they want to keep the jessie james' of society out.

i mean i see an awesome box like that, or any custom car, truck, bike you name it (and i did see his the other day) and the first thing that comes to mind is, wow thats a lot of hard work and dedication put into that thing.

and what i mean about the jessie james coment, is just ppl that dont conform to the norm, ppl who do things their way and not for the joy of others persay, but to fullfill there passions in what ever they produce

those are the kinds of ppl i like to associate myself with, maybe outsiders to the rest of society, but to me thats family

is your vehicle a work vehicle? or is it always in the lot while you work.. cause cant you just get a car cover.. and cover it? (which sucks that you gotta cover such a sweet paint job)..but atleast you can still drive it everywhere else

man it's so ridiculous!! imagine this, if your boss drove ausin martin for example and you told him he couldnt park it in the lot cause it's an exoctic car and would attract attention lol.

or if he drives a taurus, tell him he cant park it cause its a sucky a$$ ford vehicle

i hate discrimination

It never ceases to amaze me at the stupidity of the world today. For all thats going on in the world ... the war we shouldnt be fighting ... children going to bed hungry .. and how many millions that cant afford health care? Clearly your manager cant appreciate how much hard work that goes into a painted car such as yours.

I would talk to the manager directly, face to face. Ask him/her what the problem is with your paint. And make him/her be specific. At this point you have to help him/her understand that your not breaking any laws, and that your car is a daily driver, and it would be apprecaited if they would cut you some slack.

If that doesnt get you anywhere, then talk to his/her boss. Everyone has someone to report to. Start off on a positive note and ask nicely if you can park your car at your place of work. Even if you park in a spot where the rear cant be seen easily.

Unless there is a sign posted as you enter the facility clearly stating that you can not park an air brushed car on the grounds, i really dont know if they have a leg to stand on.

Good Luck.
