Haz l33t wheelz.
He just painted a bunch of stuff. Nothing special IMO.
Agreed, think he should have gone more gold/bronze than copper/ Still looks good though.
What i would do with a White SS/SC... GM failed IMO. As hard as i've worked with a yellow one, white would have been cake.

just because its not stock doesnt mean its not clean
i mean the body kit fitment looks really good, a nice set of clean rims, red calipers, paints nice, and although i dont really like gen 1s he pulled them off.
clean in my book
and... nobody has even really close to what he has. oh you know someone with just the same body kit? that doesnt count.

Face it, body kits are rarely, if ever, "clean".

Don't be a jealous hater. "just spraypainting a bunch of parts" took a lot of time and effort to make it nice....
Let's see:
painted grill bar
removed front bowtie and replaced with SS
painted lip (aka evo mod)
removed, painted, and resealed stock headlights (now has custom retros)
vinyl inlays on side SS on both sides
carbon fiber center blade
debadged rear
tinted tails
lowered
dejon cp
airbox mod
cat back exhaust
painted stocker rims
painted calipers
I think he's got a swaybar in there too
plus whatever he's been doing to it over this winter
all on his own in his garage....
Oh, and SMG tuned.... Just like you.

Im not a jelous hater trust me on that. lol you realize what you said right spray painting a bunch of parts took time and effort... i dont even have to point out the irony there. And yes im SMG tuned. So is dayta, maxim x, jimharr..... would you like me to keep going?
It doesn't matter if the paint comes from a compressor powered spray gun or an aerosol charged can, as long as it's done correctly and cleanly.
The "spray painted parts" on his car have been sanded, cleaned, primed, sanded, cleaned, painted in 3 or 4 coats, wet sanded, cleaned, and cleared in 3 or 4 coats.... and there aren't any blemishes or runs.
If this was a multicolor rattlecan 30 second job with runs, fisheye, chips, and dirt in the paint, I could understand where you are coming from, but I think he actually deserves MORE CREDIT for getting such a clean job done without a bodyshop's assistance.

now THAT is a perfect example of a clean balt!
and yes as dayta said i forgot glen229 as well
no your trying to take what i said, take a left off the main road ( going way off what was said ) going down the road ( make it somewhat else ) and then try and stop at the nearest rest stop ( and turn it into something different )
he has also worked on jazer's bumper and was prepped sanded painted cleared sanded cleared etc etc and you can still tell the different between the paint and what was canned.
what you said of anyone who puts paint on a car should not be considered a good ride being your interpretation of what i said just furthermore proves you cant comprehend clearly the simplicity of what i said
and yes as dayta said i forgot glen229 as well
So anybody who puts paint on a car shouldn't be considered a good looking ride?

07metallicSS does not like me...why..i still have no clue. I dont really care honestly 
. I believe we've meet once at the SMG meet and I had no problems him. The people who like my car greatly outweigh the few that dont. Either way, I could care less...i drive it they do not, But thank you steve At least some people understand its not crappy rattle job. I dont consider mine the best but i'd like to think of it being up there.
