urban green....?

ive been talking to some fellow i-clubbers...like dub81(walter) and lcjarret(lorenzo) about painting my car a completly different color and i jus wanted to get other peoples opinion. unfortunately someone had already beaten me to the idea, but im still going with it.

Hey Ryan, i agree with the flat green paint deal...i like. depends on money, time, and ***** to go and just do it with gut feeling yeah know what i mean...cause if you wait to long then you'll probably want to shoot another idea..

so yeah you still going do the black top two-tone paint...that will look sick still

it is up to you to decide jus wanted to give my opinion!

where do you work now? still gotta visit that car wash that makes Lorezo's car blingin
