Heck yeah, I dig what you've done and the paintjob is going to be really cool!
just remembered what I was gonna mention....
back in highschool I didn't have much cash to toss at the car and i had this neat old white bug; nice wheels, lowered, beefed up engine but pretty ordinary looking. I saw pics of EVH's guitar and ran out and dropped $20 on a few different widths of vinyl striping and went nuts. Everybody but my dad loved that car.....
