Lastly, you should put somewhere, like "Epic V4 or whatever number shes on now or generation 4 somthing like that... would be cool then you could keep track of how many transforms shes went through

I already have the "Epic" decal on one side of the tonneue covers... the v.4 aint a bad idea. I'll have to consult the co-owner of GL Motorsports and see what she thinks.

since your hood has a bit of space between the bumper, run the stripes off the hood and around the edge, so from that certain angle there isnt a blank spot of red where the stripes stop, then begin again at the bumper

I love the clear needles. One of those unique things that people really dont notice right away. Easy to do too.
-------------------------------------
And the question everyone has been asking.... the 107. Well I hope the hype wont make this a let down. The idea comes from the Saleen mustangs. Saleen posts the production number in the bucket below the driver side headlight. I've liked the look of it and wanted to see how it'd look on Epic. I dig it. The number itself - it's Lisa and my aniversary. Oct. 7. 10-7... or 107.
So yah, it's not a police code, it has nothing to do with the speed she was going when she hit the pole, its not the octain she runs, etc.
Thanks for the compliments though. I'll have better pics soon. Hopfully this weekend.

Haven't been hassled yet. But the major word there is "yet". I'm sure I'm going to get crap for them (I'm more woried about the front than the back) but keep in mind - I haven't driven Epic on a normal basis for so long - I'm not sure what the po po would do. Theres a grocery list of **** they COULD hassle me for....

I like that idea. I like it alot. I'll end up pulling that off at some point. Thanks Matt.
I never noticed till now but you're right. Probably pretty easy to cover up. Maybe some sort of boot, maybe vinal. It's a small enough area, shouldnt be that big of a deal.

Well the good news is that it's an easy fix. I take the grill off, take the plate out, put the grill back, zip tie the plate to the grill. But I'd in all honesty not have it there at all!

awesome dude. the # looks sweet, great idea and means alot, thats badass. and ya brake fluid resevoir would look cool if it blended in a bit. the engine compartment looks ! if you painted that or covered it, it would be basically complete and totally flow together. not that it doesnt now tho. headlight bucks look so dope! i take it you also decided to paint the rim edge red like you were thinking ya? i remember you put tape to get an idea. car flows so well and i love the 2nd gen theme you carried with it throughout the car. props man. deffinitley a show winner.

hey g if it was me.. only little things i coudl suggest.. to mod it some more. would be.. black out the rear marker lights on the bumper (possibly buy them euro clear ones and then hit them with a light coat of nightshade would be a good look i think.. or just black out the ones you got.. thats what i did.. with just plain krylon..
loose the flame gauges and go with some other design...
paint the same stripes on the underside of the hood so it flows everywhere (since you have it flowing under the hood with the stripes as well)
and wtf kind of exhaust setup are you running now?
and maybe paint the wiper cowl to match (the red with stripes)
