Thank you sir.

They need modifications, but fit way better then the Carbon Creations.
The CC fenders stuck out about half an inch where it touches the door and the area where they bolt to the fender was twisted up. To fix them you would have to break all the CF and glass new mounts on. It was way cheaper to send them back and get the seibon fenders.

Everything looks cool about your car, but I think I would of gone with something a tad more cool looking then Dark Phoenix.. just my opinion tho..

Just because you saw him on TV with Jesse James doesn't mean that he was the inventor of it.
Autoartbythekid has articles in car magazines way before lavellee got his name. Articles date back to 1998. Oh snap.BTW autoartbythekid.com has been painting it way back in 96'. Mike Lavellee is a lame ***.

Mike started in 1979. He only recently became famous for the technique.
Hmmm.... If Jesse James and Chip Foose use this guy, that must mean something. Guess their lame too.... Guess Sandra Bullock isnt hot either...

Neither one of these guys would have put 40 hours into the flames like my guy did. He combined true fire with spawn, which is just what I wanted. So in my mind, my flames are the best. Its what I like, and only I have to agree with that.
Besides, once painters get popular, they start to spray and go and forget what its all about. Just as long as their names on the car.
Never got the kids site to work anyways. The site was done incorrectly.

Looking tiiite.
Dunno about the drama on this thread, but it looks like everything's cool and the gang. I made that slogan up btw..
it's just a coincidence that there was a funk band started in the mid-sixties with the exact name, and that Samuel L. Jackson said it in Pulp Fiction..
