Mid nose job !
Not posted for a while. Thought I'd post some pics of the Celebration. I'm in the middle of re-spraying the front and back bumpers. Difficult to find a 480 without a crack in the paint somewhere.
Shame I'm having to loose the black stripe off the front bumper, can't decide whether it looks better with it on or off ?
Mid nose job Found a good use for 2x News of the World though !
Hope to get it finished before the temperature drops to -10

Wow!!! That looks fantastic! I think it looks better without the strips, especially on white. Great job, fancy doing a few of mine

Hey nice work!
Think i would prefere it with the stripes (they are "go faster stripes" after all lol and they work ) lol, on a more serioues note, i saw some of the stripes for sale and they were sooooo expensive! When i respray mine my friend said he might make me some vinyls to fit (will be a hell of a lot cheaper as you will only need a small amount!) or i might spray it in...
Let us know what you decide to do in the end

Looks like you've done a good job there. IMO, keep the black stripe. One of the things that makes white look good on this car is the black to break it up-too much white is over powering!
Good job none-the less
