    Wow!! That looks really good! Some how it makes it look more serious.

    Coastie, I have to say, I honestly liked the way it looked before. HOWEVER, maybe you need to paint your insert white now? I just feel like the lack of contrast is slightly off putting now. But don't listen to me if you are liking it!

    EDIT: or maybe even red?

    I was thinking of doing this. I also want to do accross the top of the truck too. I kinda agree with Bart tho. Maybe I will still do it and paint the Rising Sun on the insert.

    Thumbs up

    I like it. I think it goes with the look your going for. It makes it look like a rally car now.
    Peace.
