what it looks like on the car. but ive already sanded it down better and put a few coats of primer on everything. i didnt really like how it turned out. i thought design was decent at best, and actual paint job was defnitely not good. but i didnt expect it to be. this is a learning experience for me. Im painting it satin black witha yellow mt fuji. ill post pics every now and then but hotelcrazy please stay out of this thread im sick of you
still on the fence...maybe more yellow to tie it all together.
get the RHD battery cover (it covers the brake and clutch stuff) and make it match the current battery cover...maybe paint the z-tube ???

Chord dont paint the Z tube i think that would look terrible. It would be way too much. Sorry thatguy II but i dont think that would look good at all.

Read through this whole thread.... wow im tired l0l.

dont feel like bringing up pages 1-5 so ill keep it current.

Nice job retouching chord. I believe i gave you your compliments on frenzy.. not sure..


The grounding kit & RHD cover will deff. be a niice touch.

now what do you plan on doing about the grill as well as the mt. fuji ?

i say save up to get an aftermarket might be a lil too matchy, matchy to do blk nd yellow
