Default sneak peak

Well it's been almost 3 weeks now, and I had my car re-painted to look brand new; all the emblems and wheels are painted in black chrome. As you see I also had the rocker panels painted too. The interior was redone and looks almost brand new too, and the burlwood, was painted to paino black wood.

I should be getting the car tomorrow, so I will be putting up new pictures, this is the only picture I have right now, it's still at the body shop.

Looking good, post some more pics. Did you say you dumped the burlwood and went piano black?

That looks great! How did you get the wheel right? Is it an original TC?

You are correct sir, I have the original TC grille, and Wheels, I just have to get them painted correctly. I even had that little piece painted underneath the bumper.

To each his own, but its now disproportionate IMO.

Black grill, and other odds, yet you have chrome door handles. And those are the ugliest OEM wheels they made on these, and now look much smaller since they're black.

Too much going on... takes away from overall simple and clean lines.

You don't listen too well do you? I said I am having them re-painted black chrome, so thanks for posting without reading. Yeah, the thundercloud rims are absolutely hideous
