all it costed me was some wetsanding of a car my friend is working on

Put the pin strip back on! I thought it looked better where the pin strip was then where it's missing (fenders).

i know it doesnt look that nice i just got it about 2 weeks ago and im just doing anything i can to make it better. bro before it was faded to **** so this hides it and it was completly free this is not to show off how nice my car is, its to show my two tone thats not wetsanded, buffed, or polished anyways i took off the rest of the pinstriping for ludesrv since he was bitching

i painted it the way i did cuz i didnt want anything that noticable. the two tone follows a line that is at the very bottom of the black rubber trim around the windows, if i painted the hatch i would have to paint it the way that other DA is for it to look good.

i just got the car and dont have money for buying any paint (black was free) but dont worry its gonna be painted once i get a full paint job.

i got rid of the pinstriping for princess ludesrv and the roof is gonna get wetsanded in about 3-4 days and then the whole car is gonna get polished and buffed


heres a reflection shot
