that saleen wing will look bad ass on there, im trying to get the 3 piece for mine

[bsn95w]

that saleen wing will look bad ass on there, im trying to get the 3 piece for mine

try stage 3 motor sports. they deal real saleen stuff, and from what ive seen, its cheaper then most after market stuff.

i dont realy like the 3 piece, it makes the back end of the car look too heavy, but idk thats just me.

i was going to buy the steeda race wing, or the maier racing spoiler, but since i had drilled holes in my trunk i just bought the saleen spoiler to cover all the holes haha.

it looks better then the two, but is just for looks, probly doesnt offer and sort of real down force.

[BigJnSA]

nice looking project you got going there.

[bsn95w]

nice looking project you got going there.

thanks.

it means alot coming from a hip hop artist such as yourself haha.

[bsn95w]

alright, so we sprayed it today................................ and put waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much blue pearl in the clear (we kept adding, and nothing would show up, the kablamo, all of it showed up)

i call it mystic black.

[Jay-sSs]

[mini90gt]

[bsn95w]

By any chance has that green gt been at ValMark chevorlet in new braunfels?

yeah, it has, it was backed into and needed the door replaced.

we wouldve ended up with the job, but it was an insurance claim, so he got a rental car out of it, etc.

[bsn95w]

damn that paint job came out nice.

thanks... pics make it look better then it currently does though.

theres alot of dirt that needs to be blocked out, but then all will be good.

[bsn95w]

in no, and very little light, its actualy black, but in those pics i was parked under a street light, so i had alot of concentrated light on it.

and i only used a d/a the first time i sanded to cut down the original paint... then blocked it from there, and sanded it by hand 3 more times.

[mini90gt]

I thought it looked familiar. My dad (90gt) is the manager of the bodyshop. I remember the car being worked on.
