It's cool. I like the rosey-peach sand color with the pearl white. I also like the diamond shapes down the side, but I DO NOT like the light olive green color at ALL. I would personally keep it in that same color family (ie reds, oranges, brown/taupes) but make it a darker shade(not too dark) to contrast, but I def. wouldn't go left field with a green.

I also like what you did with the shaved trunk. Looks very clean and custom, but I don't particularly care for the diamond shapes there at all. I would just paint the whole trunk the rosey-peach color as well. I think it would look MUCH better than cut-off like you have it IMO.

Oh, and if possible...try to hollow out the grill somehow? I don't have an I35 Grill so I have no idea if it could be done or not, but I think it would look real good.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'm not feeling it at all.


I do understand that it's a show car...but at the same time, I don't like graphics, and while the fade is cool, I don't like the color choice. That and every time I look at the trunk I just can't help but think something's missing.

That said, it is your car, and if you like it, more power to you. It looks (or will look) very cleanly done. And I'll give you props for that.

If you like it then why not? I too think the paint job doesn't belong, maybe on a old school classic, but not an import.

Well, first of all, it needs a drop. second, I DO like the painted headlights. Are the rear brake lights really going to look like that? Is that completely custom?

You know, you're right. To characterize someone or something (publicly!) and then to misspell said grand characterization, that's not ironic, that's just ****ing hilarious.

Right. Because of all the dumb $hit you post 100% of the time, between the two of us, I'm the stupid one.

...Meanwhile, back in the real world...

Well, unfortunately due to YOU'RE stupitity...whoops I mean YOUR stupidity *ahem* you're wrong. SO Mr. Wizard...you say if you were to spell Retarded as Retar "T" ed it would have been ironic...correct?

So what makes your spelling of "IMBARRESSING" NON-ironic? Never the less, not only did you misspell embarrassing, but you decided to take an idiotic stab at another .org member's intelligence and you were wrong. Now to me THAT is "EMBARRASSING". I mean, if you weren't wrong, then why the need to come back and edit your spelling of the word?

However, the funniest part of all might be the fact that you still incorrectly spelled the word on your attempt to cover up on your retarded comment. For future reference buddy, it's "EMBARRASSING" Now, have a nice day!

This is fun...

BTW, I too would have chosen a different paint scheme... But I'm sure this is what YOU like, so I'm sure it will turn out great!

You really can't pick a good line of reasoning in an argument, can you?

I think many people will attest that I'm no troll. And I "bully" you because you're young? How old do you think I am? When do you think I joined this forum? If anything, my bullying is a result of trying to get you to look things up and figure stuff out on your own, much like I did.

I certainly don't fail. It's your logic that's failed. That, however, is nothing new.

You can take a break from here dude. You always seem to be in the middle of things and you bring most of this **** on yourself anyways.
