Real nice job. I like the center done body color like that. Not sure on the red wheels, that might be a drastic contrast.

Hey Paul!
That grill looks familiar!

Looks GREAT! I had toyed with the idea of putting the script back on, but was <cough> asked by the artist not to

Now you have something I want...HOW did you do your eyebrows?! I've been dying to do that mod to my blackie and can't seem to get it right!!!!

About those wheels, personally I think red would look be a bit much........but, personally I think the black looks out of place too. Looks to me like somebody stole your real wheels and you were forced to put the steelies on til the new ones arrive. I think what it is is the lugs, maybe with normal black lugs, the whole package would look like a more natural fit.
