2 Freshly washed.... and pin-stripped MSPs

Well, yesterday was nice so we washed and pin-srtipped cars. I went with the silver on silver approach and I must say that I like it. It isn't visible all the time, kinda like ghost pin-stripping.

They both look nice and shiny! The pint-stripe on yours looks pretty good! I dunno if I'm feeling it on the Spicy though...

the pics dont really do it justice, the spicy looks much better in person, he did his first and i wasn't going to do mine. then i saw how it looked on his and thought it looked good. personally for me i like things that stand out a little less, harder to notice from a distance. i even have black decals on tinted windows

man, look at how much smaller Koreys intake manifold is than Scotts....it's like half a manifold.

Korey did a good job on the striping.

Ask him if he wants to tint my RX7 for me...I want it as dark as I can get.

the darkest he can do is 35% since the legal is 32 +/- 3% here, and that is the only that Toyota will carry due to the law, yeah he has gotten really good at pinstripping since he is doing about 18 cars a day between him and his team leader. his is a little messed up oin the passenger side, you cant reeally tell by the pics, but its a little wavey. yeah his mani is small and pulls hella hard but the cold starts suck, mine will be having cold start problems soon with the mani work I am doing, just a matter of time. i put the gabi's 3 on the other site b/c more people know me and her on there thats all.

nothing major, just without the VTCS the engine stumbles at cold start-ups, so he has to make sure it doesn't stall out any by warming the car up by blipping the throttle after starting. We experience the same thing when removing the VTCS from the current OEM mani, which is what I am doing to mine, I have an extra, gonna port/polish it a touch and I also have the same IM thermal spacers Korey has, I also have the TB spacer.

That's a great subtle stripe on the silver. I'm not too big on things that stand out either, for me less is more.
