That thing looks killer!!! You did a bad ass job!

Nice work. The striping might have been a pain but it sure looks good. I like the graphics. A little different than most flatties. Cant wait to see more.

Did you paint it or have somebody else do it?

I am impressed. I love it when somebody decides they can do it themselves and gets after it. You should be very proud of your efforts...I'll give ya the "BADD ASS" comment myself.
