how so??
Silver is my favorite color on a 6th gen.. I'd just spray some clear coat on it and call it done! But I can't wait to see what the rest of it is going to look like.

The first time I saw the title, it actually took me a few moments to realize that you meant 'thread' when you typed threat.

It's a play on words. tongue.gif

It looks good, definitely unique. Should be interesting to see how the whole thing ties together.

what do you think??!?!?!!??!?!?!??!
Looks good. I like the stripe more than I thought I would. Normally I'm not a fan of off center stripes like that, but it looks alright. The only thing I would have done different is on the passenger side front bumper, I would have brought the black straight down instead of take it under the headlight, but I also think it's because we can't see the whole front end. Get us pictures of the whole front end asap!

Looks nice. Should've fixed that left high beam though, or at least replaced the lens. thumbsup.gif

I like it!! And that black is actually the color I had in mind that I would repaint my car, if I repainted it in black. I like Ford's metallic black. But if I ever repaint my car, it'll be silver. Your friend's dad does good work though.

Gotta say, dont see the offset stripe a whole lot. Looks good.
and dont forget i still need to put my side skirts and SSIII splitters on. and they will both be black also
It's ummmm...special. It rests on what rims you get.

These are the most up to date pics. i took a photoshoot for the calender:D
what yall think of the pics


Need rims and it will be straight. Cough cough buy mine
I would paint the extensions and side skirts silver, they look out of place being black. I'm never a fan of the triple stripes but I can dig the origanallity of how you used I with the two tone, I may steal the lines you used for the two tone. Overall nice job!

Coming in 2010full paintjob - new wheels - modified body - new interior - engine build- marriage

Thanks. And I'll be getting my rims by tomorrow so I'll have some pics up soon
alright guys i know its been a whyle but i got another update. I got my rims today and put em on.
Sorry for crappy iphone pics. will have legit ones up sometime later.

From the teaser pic the paint job raised my eyebrow but it looks really nice. Would look really sleek if all the bottom skirts were silver as well. Looks good man.

well what i was going for was the black ground effects would tie up with the black down the top. and the rims also do that because there black with silver lip
