Night crew bump. Do I stand a chance?? :cool:

Your car looks awesome bro! You can tell alot of time went into it.

Yea, you stand a chance. Your car def. has a custom look to it. I personally took notice to one of your smaller mods that I like alot. Your custom bottom grill look good. Its funny how I can pick out such small nice mods when you have a two tone paint job and rims and hood and the entire deal. Good up the nice work.

get a veriety of pics, not all at the same location... perferably somewhere with less overhead trees the reflections really kill the pics... but you do have a hawt car & i like the hood...also to me your paint looks a little orange in color not red... but you are off to a great start & you still have time to get better pics :twothumbs

Thank you guys! REIGNftSOLDIER, I still can't get over that sig of yours.
I'll see what I can do about more pics, different places. These are the tips I need, thanks mang.

I'm the same way rally. I pick out things like that too. Thanks man.

Yea no prob. I plan on getting car of the month sometime next spring. I'll be done with all my mods by then. Anyways I hope. Going to be a all GMP car with some really nice 19 inch rims and some nice CF parts :)

Anyways don't want to steal from your thread, good luck. We will see what happens when the vote thread comes up.

IMO you have the best looking car on the site. No one else should even enter for car of the month this month.

Wow, thank you soo much LSCobaltlover05, that is awsome, thank you.

haha nicee CT. Honest to god i was laying in bed this morning thinking of how sick it would be if i had some pics of ur your car for my desktop then tonight you pull this stunt. works out perfect.

(i plan on doing the 2 tone paint this week thats why)

but great loooking car but i have one question. Are you windows not tinted or is it? I honestly cant tell.

also since you seem to have a good idea for paint did you have any other ides on paint schemes that you did not end up using? Im learning towards a 2 tone but then again i wouldnt mind something diffrent as well you know.

Ryan

Thanks a lot Cobalt30. That's sweet you are going 2-tone. Ideas...hmmm

The bar that runs across the upper front grill would look good the same color as the top of your car. Like if you paint the top black the bar would look nice the same color.

You could also bring the bottom color up onto the hood somehow.
Like a couple thin lines running up the creases of the hood. Little things.

I see you have a CF trunck. You could also buy a CF hood and paint the top of your car black but leave the trunk and hood CF. That would look sick. From a distance you think the hood and trunk are just black paint like the rest of the top of the car and then you get close and see CF. Sick!

P.S. The windows are not tinted yet. They will be this summer though.


Good luck with it man. I can't wait to see it done.

ohh you little bastard! you know you got my vote!

Thanks h0l0caust, much appreciated!

Looks great CT! I think you have a good chance at winning. You'll have my vote, if Remedy doesn't run again. :lol: No, seriously, it seems like July is going to be a fun month to vote! :)

Get some interior shots though. I know I'd like to see some. :)

Thanks Scythe_Snake, yeah It seems July is rough month. Lots of nice balts. Thanks again man.

You got My Vote CT :twothumbs Looking Good and Keeping Her Clean :twothumbs

damn looking good man... you got my vote...

Question was those dyno numbers with my tune, or did you get it redone?

Thanks a lot guys. I hit up Bristol Dyno roughly 2 weeks after the tune. Those were the numbers. With these temps now though....lol

As a matter of fact, I hit the highway a couple nights ago with the chick and went WOT in 3rd.
The wideband wouldn't rise above 10 which is pretty rich. All the way to 6,800rpms.
I hope we can make a couple minor summer adjustments. You'd be the man Paul.

yeah man, I can fix that easy. Too bad you didn't have it in when we tuned. But I should be able to pull some more power outta that thing too.

Sweeeet, thanks Paul. If you're not coming to the CT area I might be able to come out there one Saturday.
Yeah I wish I had it then too. All is good though.

let me know if you wanna swing through here... I'll be out in Conn. labor day I think at an srt meet. Don't really have too much time for traveling these days

Ct Ftmfw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you got my vote

Tony, you know you can count on me for the vote! :twothumbs

so CT you dont think I should paint my trunk half red? think i should keep it all black and also not do the pin strip around the trunk line? or do u think i shoudl do the pin stripe and just keep it all CF looking?

I deff want to have a pin stripe cuz it breaks up the colors well. I was going for a gun metal grey to match my rims on th pin stripe. I think that would look good.
