My 2006 Pride & Joy

Ok, now that I had her stock for about a month I decided to liven her up a bit. Hope you guys enjoy.


Day 1 in her new driveway, only 200 miles. (Car had to be drove from Ohio)









Added some limo tint on day 3. I'm going to limo the Driver & Passenger sides later in the summer but I want to be seen for now








I used black vinyl on the inside over the dot matrix. This is because tint doesn;t lay down 100% smooth over the dots and likes to bubble over time. The vinyl adheres to the dot matix nicely and leaves a very nice look to the outside.


Painted my calipers red.

Painted my stock rims













Added some vinyl work. Will change design and color schemes on a monthly basis.
I run a Tinting & Graphics business out of my garage. It's to catch peoples eyes for advertisement purposes.















Just a little advertisement

I don't like the VINYL it's too bright. Why would put neon orange and lime green on a blue car?!?!?!?

Yeah, I tint windows and do vinyl out of my garage.

LOL funny you guys say that about the vinyl. I'm not worried about it. Since I own the company I'm planning on changing the color scheme and design work every month or so. I chose wild & crazy colors for the first time just to get peoples attention and get my "rolling advertisement" out there. Honestly though, I've had nothing but compliments on the car. I'm even getting stopped at street lights. Least I didn;t do a 100% vehichle wrap

Yeah sneaky, I'm the guy you ran into at the dealership when you were getting your oil changed

Because its different. Theres a high school right down the street from my house. High school kids have nothing better to spend thier money on cause they have no bills. It's an eye catcher to them and they think its cool. Gotta trust me on this one. I've gotten a few jobs already because of it and I've only had the vinyl on for 5 days so far. It's all about the money

Dupli Color in a 5 oz can. Needed 2 cans. The color is Electron Blue Pearl. I think it's the closest to the Laser Blue. Too bad Dupli Color doesn't make the Laser Blue yet.

Do those vinyls glow in the dark? Other than the vinyls, nice car!

Do you have the tails tinted around the edge or are those covers of some kind?
