I concur!!!
WOW!!! I don't know what to say. Very well put together, and I love the subtle 3 tone and the subtle wide body treatment, and the vents, and the CF inlays, and powdercoating the inner wheels, and........WOW!!!. That is uber classy, and sexy.

I'm loving this... I know what a critical bunch you guys can be - it means a lot to know you guys like what we did.
Again, props go to Joe @ Backyard Creations... the idea for the paint scheme was mine, but we had a common vision... the fender vents, hood details, carbon fiber, and Supra brake light were all him... and he is really the brains behind the actual execution. I find it's always good to give artists like Joe the professional 'license' they need to be creative... if the artist is happy with his work, chances are the customer will be, too.
I do have more photos, but I'm having difficulty uploading them to the CL gallery - must be a server issue or something. Here's one that I did manage to upload this morning. I like how the car looks with the wheels turned like this!
BTW, the rear H&R coilovers are all the way down now. I could get the car lower if I removed the rear coilovers and removed the jamb nut on the lower perch... I could drop it the thickness of the jamb nut, probably 5mm or so.
Frankly, I'm pretty happy with how the car sits currently. I DO drive it every day at this height, which can be challenging entering/exiting driveways with the Explosion front bumper. Even leaving my office is an event... it teaches you to plan ahead as I must exit at a severe angle, basically taking the entire driveway opening!
As for cost of the job... isn't that like asking a woman how old she is?
Figure about $10K for a paint job like this...
