1. Why? if you had that much money you wouldn't drive a Z
2. You have committed a federal offense in doing this.....(damaging government property)
3. I hope, since your car will receive national recognition (at SEMA), and if this is so "different" --> more attraction, then you run a greater risk of getting in trouble...

Unless you rat me out hehehee, I think i'll be "ok"...

----------------------------------------------------------
I originally saw something similar done on a mini truck AGES ago back in the mid 90's, and the idea stuck with me ever since. As I finally have a painter capable of doing it, I decided why the heck not... And yes it is my rear strut bar cover, I chose that piece for a few reasons:
1) You can see it through the back window with the hatch closed
2) If I ever get rid of the car or something unfortunate happens, I can simply pull this piece out and put it in my display case w/my trohpies.
3) I used a REAL bill so that you can see the watermarks and the strip, so that there is no question about it being real
4) It's just how I roll!!!

Wait till you guys see the other stuff not even having to do with the body work! Let's just say that I'll be taking the undercairrage and suspension to the next level, beyond simple and generic polishing hehehehe


and yes, the car will debut at SEMA this year, as a feature with APR outside, not in a booth. But i'll be there with the car all week long!

Not my taste, but at the same time, you need to chill.... Im sure the feds are not going to come crashing through his door because he used a 100 dollar bill and put it inside a display case, geeeeezzzzzzzzz. Anyway as far as the work goes completly flawless, like i said not really my taste but the quality of work and detail into it is awsome!

Props for the quality of the work. Not my cup of tea either. Looks like it belongs on a cadi with 24"s.

Good thinking. But maybe he could of airbrushed the 100$ bill so you have that 100$ for gas. haha

good idea though.

My thoughts exactly, it's almost the same as putting a dollar bill at this point, our currency is weak.

I can't wait for the car to be done 100%, I'll even go as far as to say Best Of Show Everything hands down. The time and work being put into this is car is insane and will be worth the wait no doubt. Tony and the car will go on to collect Magazine Covers and just skip the trophies all together
