Right now, its silver.

Red or blue? I cant decide. I'm leaning toward blue.

can't you put a lear lens and run an HID light thru it?):h

Yeah, it'd look cool but a colored lense is illegal. I got enough of a supernova on there now. I also thought about LED...

Justin, got any pictures?

you're a LEO...they can't touch you...and you could use the bluest HID available...

They can touch me but I wont give them the opportunity to. Its illegal on a POV. bESIDES, I'd get the "Whacker" image real quick. Thats too ricer anyways, and besides, I have 6 HID ballasts neatly tucked away now, I doubt I'd find room for more.

Check out www.policeposers.com for more whacker info.
 
At least with a black truck you have options. I had to go black with my bowtie because of the maroon color. I used that Plastic Dip Spray and it worked awesome. It's been on for almost a year and holding well.
 
nick,

I was wondering what the hell a whacker was when I first started reading your post...never heard that terminology before...I guess that lingo doesn't get used much down here...
 
Well Nick, between those two colors I'd have to say blue.

I've been thinking about painting mine black with a thin blue line through the middle, ya know.
 
Yeah, I know. Not many people know what that means though. I think a dark, metallic blue would look good.
 
Drink a beer take it off. Drink another beer scuff it up a bit. Drink yet another beer then spray it. While it is drying drink as many more beers as you can this way if you screw it up it will still look great. Nick I know you can do it!!!!!!!!!! :cheers2:
