Can you paint my T-bird? your a very nice guy but i hate to say i can find only one thing i don't like its missing some nice chrome wheels. But it does look better than new and the paint job could not of turned out any better.

gorgeous, love the factory caps. i could never imagine parting with mine. in a sea of aftermarket wheels the factory had it pretty  good. the lower profile tires however, im not a fan of wheel opening gaps, are they the factory size? maybe its just the camera angle
Title: The Cats out of the bag
Post by: Haystack on December 29, 2008, 09:59:00 PM
stock rims with stock wheel covers. I'd bet stock sized tires, or close to.

Post by: mercury-man on December 29, 2008, 11:06:42 PM
Fella's, Those tires are size 14's and were put on back in "04" thru a previous owner. And yes our stock rims wheel covers are from the factory also !!! ;)

just a quick look at our old paint job compared to the newer one.
