Thinking about trading in the CR-Z for a Fiat 500 Abarth, thoughts?

Good luck. You bringing the car on Sunday to show off?

I'm probably going to come up there solo but if it doesn't turn out the way I think it will I will come up there naked....





...meaning NO stripes

I didn't go out and look at it but the stripes have been removed, the car is naked!

My wife is picking me up in 20 minutes and I'll be coming back in 5 hours to pick up my car, wish me luck as I have no reference to base this off of, flying blind. The badge overlays will surely look awesome as it will tie in with my centercaps.

Stay "tuned" 🇮🇹

Phase II of the "Italian Job" is now complete. Steve's shop was slammed today, so there's going to be a phase III, the badges and mirror caps. We all decided the mirror caps would be done in matte green

Thoughts, good or bad welcomed

Love it! Love it! Love it!

I gotta be honest.... I don't like the idea of the green mirror caps. I will have to see it though. I'll keep an open mind ;)

I actually blurted out green right away, then my buddy Hectour who's an artist, agreed and confirmed by the owner of the shop, Steve. Steve said green because it was the brighter of the colors. He's got plenty of leftover matte green so we'll see how it goes, if we're all wrong it peels right off and then he'll apply the clear, matte to the mirror covers to make them matte red. I think doing them white would be wrong wrong and wrong but then again noone brought it up.

The badges being done, although a small mod, will bring everything together. There's even talk about a new center cap design over the winter, brain storming is ongoing

Another mod is also going to appear soon...clear side parking lights but they aren't clear as in seeing the bulb inside but I guess you could say more white, like the side marker lights...snowballin' here, LOL

I feel like I have a brand new car here and BTW we swapped services for this job. I washed/clayed/Gloss coated (he provided) a Scion xB and his 4 door Z71 pick up truck. The custom badges were taken care of when I did his 78' Hilux 6 weeks ago, working off my mods. Now if I could just find an interior guy to do this with and get custom red leather seats or Italian colored houndstooth inserts for the seats...loud, YES but it plays into the personality of the car, NOT it's owner😜

Thanks for all the kind words everyone, I appreciate it and I should say in closing that I wasn't sure when I saw the front of the car today, then I saw the rear and warmed and when the sides were done...GAME OVER!

I will wait and see how the green looks... but I like the red on the mirrors already. Like you said, it can easily be peeeled off if you decide you don't like it.

I will say overall the car loooks fantastic Roger! Love the wheels and that new vinyl. Loooks sharp. Just enough and tasteful.
 
Thanks Monica!

If the green doesn't work the mirrors will get the clear matte wrap to tie it in to the stripes!

I'm at our weekly cars and coffee right now and it's PACKED!

How was C&C?
It was awesome!

This is a smaller, weekly show but we had about 50 cars 9ver all come in and out Speaking of cars, I wish I had taken pics this time out but just didn't think about talking to John and walking around but we had a TT Coyote Mustang and TT C5 ZO6, just scratching the surface here!

C&C's are about to start in full swing, can't wait to see what's in store for us, this some kind of cartown

I can appreciate the idea Punisher but that would "punish" my wallet right now, besides the wheels are brand new and it might look a little "clown car-ish", LOL.

What color were you thinking BTW?
