lol well the paint is pretty crazy.... so you just did some work on his truck and stratus and you got a 8-10 k paint job... seems like you came out on the better end of the deal..

back on topic ... lightning you could do something kinda like you old paint job that you posted up when you posted you GSX. You could do something like that but almost make it look like the paint on the front of the car is ripping off.

No offense to you, I think the paint is cool, but that guy is on crack if he thinks that is 8k+ in paint work or I need to start charging people more money.Either way its a definite good deal on your part, if you just bagged a truck and did some work on a stratus.Did you notch the frame or something?Do some custom shit on the rear axle or something? Anyway....I was mixing around with some paint and came up with a cool dark gray, so my current idea is my dark gray with tribal ghost flames filled with ghost skulls and a huge graveyard/satanic/night of the living dead type shit on the hood.I gotta come up with a color for my 98 too, I was a thinking of the paint ripping off thing(like stated above), I always wanted to do one like my old one,but spend more time on it, I did that one in like 3 hours and drank 12 pack before I even started. Or maybe I should go with one solid color on that one.Maybe a custom maroon color or something with a mural on the hood.Damn decisions.

this is probably a stupid question but what the hell does he mean by bagged a truck???

Air bags for suspesion.

ahh i should have known that..... If he just installed them he probably came out on the better end of the deal

he got a full air ride fbss fast bags setup with 10 switchbox and top of the line compressors, tanks, valves, etc. plus a custom tube bridge, relocated and dropped shocks all around, step notch, spindles, etc. for his stratus he got a body kit, intake, exhaust, coilover struts. he is a good freind of mine so i got hooked up, he also knows the car will be at alot of shows and track events compeating so it is good advertisement i guess. custom paint is the best mod i've done to my car yet, almost EVERYONE looks at it and makes a comment, some good and some bad. its strictly a show / track car so the more attention the better.

yeah it would get alot of attention but I was getting ready to say it must be a cop magnent.
And I take it he payed for all the stuff and you installed it.

Ok back on topic. I was thinking about mabey do some type of cool color paint and slowly fade it darker and darker as it goes down or from the front to the back.... They are simple looking but still at the same time incredable.

no, i payed for the materials. we bag ALOT of stuff so it really didn't cost a whole lot for me. he has extensive work done to his truck though, $3500+ in supplies with installation. he paid for the paint and materials for my car.

i actually have not yet been pulled over in the car (despite there being a few illegal things about it, no front plate, loud exhaust, etc) knock on wood
