2004 Completely Customized Almost Home

So I started this project with Action Tire in the beginning of March and after some final touches, I almost have it back for the entire summer.

Here are a few pictures of it before I get it back.

The paint on that door panel is extremely sloppy. It looks like it wasn't masked off at all.

Aside from that, I like it for what it is - a rolling billboard for a sponsor.

Just want you to know that the 40oz to freedom sun is not a decal and is airbrushed.
The only decals on the car are from Action Tire the shop that sponsors me.
Yes there are all the companies on the door but they can be removed when the car is not in the lineup of the shop.....

Make a comment about the work in and on the car not the stupid ten dollar decals on the doors. If you don't like it that is fine and I have no problem with comments, but enough on the friggen decals man.

Although no one likes anything about the car, here is a video with the wheels and brakes painted.

Thanks and if anyone remotely cares the car has already been featured in Action Tire's Lineup at the Dub Show in NYC, and has already been in the shoot for Action Tire in the new issue of Dub Magazine and on their website.

http://dubmagazine.com/events/dub-ev...-show-new-york

I hope to have a full page or two in a magazine from the start of the project to the end.

Was this for me? I didn't say anything actually, just the smiley.

Maybe you thought my signature was something I typed? It shows up on all my posts.

too much rice for my taste, but i do like the hideaway plate.

it's ur car so u can obviously do as u please so kudos to u, but remember bud...this is a forum. therefore, ur gonna get peoples honest opinions based on whether or not THEY would EVER do that to their OWN vehicle.

don't take offense. just roll with the punches and take the criticism.
