Default Not a Z, but I haven't posted in a while.

Been a long time since I've posted, been trying to get back into shooting cars lately. My friend has a custom bug that we decided to shoot for fun. Its chopped 3", stretched 10", and obvious open wheel. To be honest, I don't really like bugs, but his was unique enough to me that I definitely dig it.
















more here in the set:

we got bored waiting on the sun to go down some and brought his RC car out too, lol.




and one of my own car cause im an attention ***** (plastidipped).

Thanks guys!

And Chris, the rears (though you know someone always ends up asking lol) are chargespeed bottomline add-ons. the center diffuser is actually from an 05 Cobra GT500 that my friend had laying around. We got bored so we trimmed it and popped it on with some rivets and its been like that for a while now haha.

Word of caution on the plastidip, it gets difficult to peel after some time especially in the sun. My roof was dipped for 6~ months and it took a friend and I like 3 hours to peel. Another friend dipped his whole car, and hes been trying for the last few months to get it peeled. It does look cool though haha

Thanks a bunch. I'll have to find something new to shoot around the area. Haven't seen anyone with anything that stands out in a while

If it comes down to it, respray over everything that wont peel easily with another coat of plastidip and it will come off way easier

yeah, true. I remember i did my roof black for a weekend just to see and did that with a few problem areas, mainly the middle. Only problem is Cali banned plastidip in can/gun form so all we get is spraypaint cans. hopefully it peels easy haha
