Grant, sick photo, looking forward to the rest. I like the location and lighting.

Viet did you change the color of your calipers already?? Ride looks amazing.

Maybe before SEMA or something. Just happy I've been trying to keep it out of the shop, would lose my mind if I weren't able to enjoy it. See ya tonight Marcus.

caskyline (Randy) has been an inspiration to me and others. Beyond body and paint he built his car pretty much himself. I've been trying to do as much stuff myself. Sometimes things go wrong but you learn a whole lot along the way.
Happy modding all. And enjoy what you got, cause no matter how bad something may seem we all have a whole lot to be thankful for.

My only complaint about modding is not being able to enjoy it when it's down. This didn't start out as a show car, and I intend to drive it no matter how much is done to it. Kinda funny the later stages of "stuff" done to it is about modifying what is already there vs buying more stuff.

So Viet, how'd Grant do with capturing the shade of blue? I don't remember exactly in detail what the blue looks like in person, but I recall you saying that no one has been able to capture the blue on camera perfectly. From memory, it looks pretty good/close to me!
haha, group hug! just playin
It's hard to capture for sure, I think my thing is it's hard to capture in bright lighting. Kandy paints look crazy in the sun with polarized glasses. You can see the depth of the paint much better.
He caught the blue really and I thinkwith neutral reflections ie no reds greens and other vibrant colors bouncing off the paint it looks pretty close to me. You can see the dusk lighting which looks cool. First time I saw it with the bumper on and in pieces in my driveway at dusk I was like wow.
