chris260 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 The yellow with the BBS's was a good look. Polished bonnet suits the grey much better though IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subtle modder Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 The transformation still amazes me Mitch and the detail in making proper wing extensions shows its a proper thought out job rather than just make them fit and smooth them in style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbsup:" border="0" alt="thumbsup.gif" />keep the pics coming style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
