The Bruise

Here's a lil' sumpn from Team SuperFly. It's black and blue, and it hurts: The Bruise. I especially liked entry number 4 in the dictionary: 4. To hurt, especially psychologically. There's a little Dark Tari influence goin on, so I figured I'd name it. And you know SuperFly never goes anywhere without a fine lady!!!
This started out as a yellow/black pullback body.
Full body kit on a rarely-seen NSX. Shaved door handles and indicator lights. Tab-lowered front, slot-lowered rear
Perfect paint job; midnight blue metallic with gloss black roof and wing, gloss clear with dull clear over appropriate areas.
Super bit wheels from speed set.
Black louvered heat sink that fits perfectly in the cutout when dropped to lowered slot.
Spring suspension with almost full range of travel.
Just got my new fets in the mail, so those go in next week.

Tight SF, very nice. Love how low you got that body. And the heatsink matching up like it did is a nice touch.
Any chance at a daylight pic tho

Puttin' people to work again, eh?
That's a sick ride, dude... and sick pics to boot. I wish y'all could see this one in person... it's nuts, really. The heatsink fit is just too cool, it' the first time I've seen the heatsink really incorporated into the design of the car... you bastard.

Hehe, you know me to well. I think the pics on this ride are dope shit, especially considering the name. I was just curiouse about the details, although I must say, that light reflecting off the hood and sides is killer. Oh one mother thing, Superfly, do you have a premade stencile you use for your tag? That gold on what looks like black as night lenolium fits so well.

Thanks for the props, guys. I'm really proud of this one, mainly because I have a knack for fucking something up in the homestretch, and I managed to escape my destiny this time.
Just for you, Finks. By the way, my background in the top pictures is an 11"x17" color laser print of black with the "Superfly" tag knocked back to 70%. The lighting and my magic dust make it look golden.

Thanks Finks. Yeah, I don't usually go around saying "perfect paintjob," because, well, there's always some little imperfection. But this one qualified.

Indeed.
This is one of those rides that is so damn nice, I'm still having a hard time trying to figure out what to say... I guess that means I'm speechless?
Is that last shot in the set with the white background fisheye? That is an awesome picture.
And how the hell did I miss the photoshopped "fairy" pic of hog? I'd have been breaking balls for sure had I seen that sooner... too late now I guess... Not! hogs a 'lil fairy! hogs a 'lil fairy!
