Re: rake top for my blazer

I think you better have it photoshopped first. I don't see it as looking very good.

Re: rake top for my blazer

I agree with N2trux about that, I don't think it will look good, but really its all about what you think looks good. Have it photoshoped and see what you think. There are people who can do it for you pretty quickly too. GL man. xD Post it on here to let us see what its like!

Lol, Well if you already haven't found the section on this board, go to the "Photoshop" Section. You could ask to have it done for you I am sure.

You generally get what you are looking for, so its useful. do you plan to make it steel or like a fiberglass?

Just to be honest, cause I know you are looking for peoples opinion and such, but I really like it topless. if you think that this is what you want you should do it . but my 2 cents is "I like it topless"

But nice truck all around. pretty sweet!

Haha I painted the white top!.....

Re: rake top for my blazer

You are welcome Jr, and it seems like it would be something to grow on you. and a 144 polished blower huh? Nice! I see you will be cutting a whole in that cowl?

Or maybe not, I am thinking of an 871, probably.
