Default My home grown 07 tC

So here is my Familie's tC. We painted it at home last April and are just now posting pics! I know that it needs to be nicer, but at least the kids and I can drive it without worrying about door dings Hope you all like

I like the wheels idk why. Exhaust tip is unique and hood vents are also unique. I think it looks pretty damn good for an at home job.

I wondered what happened to this tC, did you change the direction of the theme? I like the color.

Wow, thank you for the nice comments. I did change direction after giving up on VIP (no budget). Now I am stationed in Japan so I had to do something before leaving the car with family. When we get back my oldest will be driving it so I am actually happy it is'nt a perfect paint job lol.

I actually really dig it

the wheels surprisingly look great. I think the only thing I'm not 100% a fan of is the louvers actually

No problem, I've always had an old school thing about me and that's where it fit in this car for me. Thank you for saying that in a nice way btw. I was on another forum for three days and the people were very rude so I came back home to SL.

Thanks man, I do suggest just having them punched into your hood if possible, it's a lot of body work otherwise.
