New to VSC, but not to VIP

YO.  My names Mikey, from just outside of Dc.  I was just recently told about the VSC forums and thought i would swing by and show ya some of my pics.  Ive been working on my Box for the better part of the last year.  All the bodywork has been done by myelf, hell just about everything on the car has.   My Brother Painted, and a Friend Lorenzo helped with the Air-suspension.  Everything else has been my work.  Call it a hobby, love, or madddness...  But Its really comin out like i had dreamed.  Ill stop yappin and show ya some pics!  >Mkey

This was taken the begining of this year:

Hey welcome to the boards. I'm from the DC area too. You may have met my girl's cousin at Hyper-Fest, Pj and his company VIP Garage. I couldn't make it personally to the event, but I had him enter it in the show. We need to meet in person. I've got some pics from Pj of your box from the event. Here's 1 of like a dozen shots of my car and yours.

I like the way it turned out...but is that a small chip on the fender?

Thats IS a chip! Happened on the way to that show in Englishtown.... Somewhere allong the 3 and a half hour drive i heard Thwack! the NJ turnpike bit me :tickedoff: My heart about sank as i JUST got this thing done the previous weekend. I was actually somewhat relived when i saw how small it was. Ive already begun repair. >Mikey

Man thats too bad....

By the way I love that color :smitten:

When will we see the DIY on how you did your flares?

Ill write one up tonight kinda step by step.  Thanks All for the compliments!  Nothing better than the feeling when people who know appreaciate your work!  The color is a Porsche color, "velvet red", kinda fixed up with a heavy flake and a gold pearl in the clear.  Ill go start on the write up...  >Mikey
