Thanks, we have the new headlights on the way, and I am doing carbon fiber accents it will all tie in when I am done. The tail lights are new.
(Paint) we are keeping the silver because I am having the Breast cancer ribbon air brushed on the hood soon.
I need 2 center caps for the my wheels, can't find them anywhere..
The speaker box is full custom work, and I am sponsored by Roadmaster it hits pretty good, and I have more stuff to add. After we did this set up I talked with them and they just sent me more stuff...
We will be back in GA Aug 9th for the show n shine if you want to hear it or see it..
But I am very proud of the car, and I still have a lot of work to do!! Thanks again everyone..

Painting the whole car pink would do more for the cause, then leaving it silver with a pink body kit. Usually when people see something like that it will just induce vomit instead of set off lightbulbs, so I say paint the whole car, and it will look better, and will do a better job at what youre trying to achieve. Just my :2cents:

Only thing Id change even though its funny as hell, Is the Save The Ta Ta's brake light because when you are looking to build to honor those who have lost the battle to breast cancer, that kind of thing does not sit well with that concept nor will people affected by it find that humor if your truley building a car to honor the woman affected

yea, im sorry, looks like crap
and my grandmother is a breast cancer survivor, of close to 10 years now, who has gone through a mastectomy, so i know what its all about, been there, done that, and ran in the susan g. komen race for the cure with her last year.

im sorry man, but save the tatas does more for the cause than most, my grandmother sports tatas clothes, as does my wife, and mother, it all goes to a good cause, and its a head turning way to get people to look at the disease that affects 1 out of every 8 women....i feel strongly that those who have passed away would not turn away attention to this disease, no matter the message you think it sends...and to top it off its kinda funny

I will take better pictures tomorrow and post on here. The pink looks good the way it flows and when we get the ribbons added it will flow right. I have been working on this for months.
While I know that not everyone will like it, and I respect that! I thank you all for your suggestions and support!
Thanks again!!

I see where you're coming from, but STTT is a huge organization that, like Goat said, does more for research and awareness than pretty much anyone else. :)
I can't wait to see this thing in person. :)

Love the fact that it's for a good cause. Though, you can't tell me it's not ugly as hell. It would be much better and could get more attention (and good attention) if painted. It just looks like ass now. A ass with a good cause.
You need to start a paint fund! on paypal... and IA should Support it..maybe?

Just so everyone knows,I am very supportive too. I go around offering free lump checks. Ungrateful women never seem to know when I'm trying to help.
J/k, that car is FAR from my taste(exept the TBL, I love that) but I have to give it to you, it's hard to insult a car with such a good cause behind it. It's good you take a lot of pride in that car.

I love my cruiser, for my personal reasons.. just like everyone else pick's a ride for their personal reasons.
I love civics, mustangs, RX7's and the Supra if I was building a go fast kick butt car then I would be doing one of them.. But since I am going for the laid back, cruise type then the Cruiser fits ME..
Again thank you everyone for ALL of your points, and comments!!
OH and Yes the cruisers are classified as Trucks/Vans (why I have NO idea) It saved on insurance being listed as a mini van LOL

Maybe if you paint it pink then put the ribbon decal on the back windows(not the hatch window) that might flow better? Idk I'm down with the whole concept though reps for you.

i think painting the car that color pink would look good, then with some white pearl and a darker shade pink have bucky air brush the ribbon on, im sure he could do names all over the car too, it would give it that ghost effect which is pretty neat. just my :2cents: but it gets the point across no matter how it ends up

Don't be cheap, paint the whole thing pink. And get a real system in it. :)

I agree with everyone, I think painting the whole thing pink would look awesome. Either way though, its great that you're showing your support this way.
