thx mark that was cool of you to say.... to be honest i wasnt pointing my finger at you for saying that.... i just know thats popular believe amonst a number of members from this site.... i wasnt surprised.... look my budget is not very good, and with me being in the industry... i have never followed the trends i like being unque..... is a good reason why i have to put performance on a backburner.... dont get me wrong nothing would make me happier knowing i have the fastest car on a m62.... i would take great pride in that..... unfortunately i just cant afford it at this moment.... who knows maybe one day that may change, it is my goal after all..... i know i could reach those goals alot easier with my friends help as i could help my friends to achieve thier appearance goals...... who better to talk about that subject then to talk to the guy who is maybe the first and still only completely wrapped car on this site....

well i am not sure but i believe there is a wrappable flat laminate.... you could choose a metalic blue and use this flat laminate to achieve a flat medium blue metalic.... there are non metalic solid pigment colors that come in a flat texture.... they have a nice sheen to them however they dont quite look like a metalic.... i believe i could achieve this look for you but i will look into it tomorow for you and let you know for sure......
it's just something that piqued my interest... don't spend too much time on it.
I'm still probably most interested in either a solid colour change (do you know legalities of having to re-register ect?)
or a transparent red hue over yellow to make the car look a deep redish shade of orange...

the legal side of things is very simple.... i believe there is a small fee to change the info on the pink card... and you simply put in the majority color.... iirc its like 10 bucks.... finding out about the flat lam is as simple as asking nick.... he would know.... sounds like there are some thoughts happening.... i think maybe i will bring my color charts to you or you pop by the shop..... maybe there is something that may interest you.... if not and you want to see what you can do with printing on clear we can.... please never look at as spending needless time or me going out of my way.... i wish to help you explore your options.... i enjoy new looks.....

Jon likes to pretend it's not, but he also thinks I'm jealous he's pretty
Turtle heads make me think of something completely different, and it's seriously just not something I want to think about

we do have some benefits here in cowtown... but really its still cold.... i must admit boosting in a chinook is a blast.... ground is still frozen so you dont wear out tires but its at the right temp that your car wants to fly....
So I just went to the mail to pick up some parts that came in. CED order of $220, $35 in customs. $900 ZZP order, $45 in customs. I swear they have a dart board they just throw at to charge you whatever amount.
