Very tasty bit of paint you've got there.

You sure you want a zeemax kit on it? Just put a set of carbon arches on and i reckon it will be set >_<

yeah they look awesome too! Noticed the carbon ones after getting the kit so it is late now :thumbsup: I still love the zeemax thought. But you know, I can easily change when I am bored of it :D (after some years i guess :closed:)
