Reggie@MWDesign
01-26-2010, 07:19 AM

do your own style man.
i understand you like how rhys or ryans car looks like, but do your own thing to be unique.
i would be pretty pissed if someone kept asking me or copying what i do to my car to there own.
but keep the build goinggg.
suprame
01-26-2010, 09:33 AM
Okay I'll do something different. Thanks Reggie. And I dunno if anyone noticed but ryans pins arent in the location that they are in that pic I moved em over the headlights. And I guess that's what I'm gonna do :devil:

You say the car's been around the block, have you touched the maintenance side of things yet?
