    Can't say that I'm a fan of it. But I can admire the amount of work you put into it. Well done.

    haha you boys got no style... matt black, big chrome, manual ute., cant go wrong. what good to me is a nice finish on a riding ute? the hornet scoop was just sittin on the bonnet at the time. and nah it was an ex house painters car... so the paint wasnt that flash..
