or you could just wrap the whole car...$1000. Granted the jams and junk wont be the same color but thats ok. No one has ever came up to me and said, Hi, nice paint...can I see your jams.

If I going to pay to have a car painted professionally I would want a quality job not something half assed with different color jams. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Aired Out TLS
I have always thought about it. I really like the original Acura TL colors. Even though i had my whole front end painted awhile back. The choices in order
1- KBP
2- CBP
Custom paint color i really like is on this Infinity not sure what its called but its like a mixed between black and dark purple ?
Or this Carbon type color. I love the body lines of the Infinity line up but dont like the interiors. So i will stick with my Acura for awhile.

I had a 2006 CBP Accord...loved the color but when it came to buying wheels and trying to be different only 3 colors worked with it...black, silver, and gun metal. Never tried white but Im sure it would've looked good.

Went to the Auto Show today. Inside was typical...the new cars, hot chicks, and the classic section. The new Santa Fe looked really good. The Raptor is HUGE. First time seeing a BRZ and FRS in person. The outside, which is the drive event, was much improved. Last year was Hyundai, which did bring a Genesis R-Spec; however, this year was Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, GMC, Chevy, and Honda. There might have been one more. Since it's slow on Friday, I got to drive several cars.
Honda Accord - chose the V6, of course. Nice acceleration. The right turn blind spot camera was really nice. Interior was nice material-wise, but not for me style-wise. Same for the outside. The girl who recruited me to test drive it was cute, though...sole reason I did it.
Dodge Durango - wanted to drive the Grand Cherokee, and it was on the list, but they didn't have one. This is bigger, but very nice. Smooth, and the V8 gets the hulking mass moving nicely. I was impressed, but if I were to buy an SUV, I would get the slightly smaller GC.
Chrysler 300 SRT-8 - yep, they brought the big guns out. They had a 300S there, but come on. Loved the interior...the SRT version had a much better interior than the regular/luxo 300. The seats were superb. Not a fan of the analog clock, but I could get over that. And despite the lame route around downtown, I did mash it a few times...yeah, it goes, and sounds very good doing so.
Dodge Charger SRT-8 Super Bee - big guns abound! I don't like the SB version of the Charger, but the point was to judge the suspension (which is the same as the regular SRT). It handled very well for a boat; better than an RT and the 300 SRT. Visibility was better than the 300, as well, but overall the interior wasn't as nice (I know, duh). Stock exhaust sounded good.
Dodge Challenger SXT - I think it was the SXT. It had the Pentastar, but not the 8-speed. Having driven an RT Challenger, I have to say the Pentastar did a really good job of moving the large car around. I was impressed, but not impressed enough to buy the V6 in whichever car I get next. As for why I drove it...the girl who did the ride along was smokin' hot. Actually, most of the girls they had for ride alongs were hot. I would've driven a couple of more cars, but I wanted to get home at that point.

Dear Tyler,
I ate at Sonny's earlier this evening. It was delicious. I went to reach into my pocket for my phone to take a pic and send it to you, but then I stopped and thought to myself,...nah...that would be fucked up.
xoxo, Eric

Sounds good man.
Here is the latest build that i'm still working on. It's hollow on the inside and i'm going to try and build some in the interior. Hopefully I can come up with a working elevator and maybe some LEDs.
