Reminds me of my "uncles" old F150. It was painted just like that.
The black looks WAY better than I thought it would
Why didnt you just replace the fender?

The paint job was done by my mechanic's which this is his 1st Full car he has painted the other guy that works with him did more of the body work and mixing up paint. The shop has never done a project this big and there great and getting stuff to work and making things look as good as they can even on things they don't do for their everyday custmers. The paint was all my design except the black mirrors and grill and hood scoops where his idea and we ran out of blue paint right after they sprayed the bottom.

The XR7 is not flawless but with the wheels and if Vinne makes me some clear corners and with some nice new rotors and window tint it will look good. You guys got some nice cars but i think this one will be nice to take to car shows and the Dnyo and the drag strip and drive around.

Since he has dodged the question about the jams 3 times. Im going to say they are red. And Im going to guess this is where some corners will be cut. Just a guess. I think with those rims its going to look sick. Are you lowering it?
