    Haha! I have that happen when I get the Charger cleaned up. Have to be really selective about when and where I photograph her.

    Thanks guys

    I have added an HDR effect to the shot and that brings out the purple hue a little bit. In direct sunlight, the BB LXs look a little purple. It's a great color. I'm not that good at detailing so I can't take credit for producing such a shine:D

    It's a PITA to keep clean, but once it's clean, it is by far the best color IMHO:)

    Spent an hour this morning cleaning the car, what a joy since I detailed it with Turtle nanotech...
    So now I´m just waiting for that perfect rainstorm to ruin my work!:baby:

    No pics, I suck at taking pictures, I´ve said so many times that I would but I just don´t come around to it...
    But it looks pretty much like yours albeit mine isn´t blacked out, still have the chrome trimmings.
    Underhood I carry a Vortech kit, hopefully soon tuned by Johan as I´m harassing him on his vacation and forcing him to brush up on his swedish...
    A Razors edge strut brace and a catchcan from BT, Quaife in the back and a really heavy right foot!:mains:

    I'm sure you'd do fine - I suck too, by any measurable standard. I just fake it :)

    I'll trade you the black trim for the Vortech. Good deal, right? :D

    Yes a heavy foot - you're lucky you're somewhat close to roads where you can really open it up. I think I've had to 80-85 MPH once or twice... top speed with a Predator, intake and catback is over 180 MPH if you have enough road. LOL

    Well, I don´t even have a camera...LOL
    All I have is my crappy cell and this computer won´t take the pics.
    About the roads, well, the speedlimit would be 75 at best, but its not enforced here as it is in the US, to go really fast the road has to be clear. That means nighttime, and if I pass a cop at that time he won´t be able to catch up, I´ll take one of the next exits and dissapear down the back roads.
    If Ã￾´d on the other hand be nicked doing say 170 I´d be in real trouble, like jailtrouble...LOL
    So one has to choose carfully before putting ones foot down for a long time!

    I´ve been fortunate enough not having to do it with the car but on the bike its a different story, much easier at that.
    If we meet for spring fest 7 I´ll tell you a story or two...:D
