I saw that about 3 months ago and thought it was cool, but forgot about it until just now. Neat truck.

You painted them to match? I thought you shaved them when you smoked your lights and 'bagged it?

I beat and trash on my truck like any other fella so this is gonna be interesting for me, I hope ya'll have had a good look at the paint job while it's intact without any scratches, dents and dings!!
Jules.. so what did he say about the maintenance? Carnuba? What would be the best route? Scratch that b/c the Carnuba would make it more shiny and the satin finish would not be.

Just an idea... go to the MuGuires, Adams, or whomever you like using and ask them, they may have a solution.

Ok..Damn It. I want to see this paint on a ZR1 with a navy stripe!!!

Holy SH@$!!! I love it!! That's the plan for it, clear lights that will be smoked and will be dropping it 1 - 2 inches here after summer is over. No on the shaved handles though because I wanna run at the track!!
Did you do that Brandon? That's a really clean job!!
I bet you were getting rid of the lines from that other shoot location huh?!

Yep, I photoshopped it. The shots from this location were much better than at the intersection, but I will probably end up playing with those shots too.
