really now...so you've damned them to a life of blandness. From Altima to a Frontier. You should have asked em to buy the S2000 or 370Z. he would forever be thankful to you for having kicked their lives up a notch

Actual powder makes a big impact on price
For the record, I have used powders from NIC Industries for the bronzes
No other company I found had such a huge selection, and was so very helpful
When I was selecting colors the 1st time they sent me an entire ring of color samples, I must have over 25 shades of bronze here
There website is great, and of course DO NOT BELIEVE THE COLOR ON YOUR MONITOR that's why they have a method for supplying samples...
NIC Industries - http://www.nicindustries.com/
I have used from the Prismatic Powders product line
Prismatic Powders
Two Coats
Casts
Glazed Tone
Leatherette
Metallics
Rivers
Solid Tone
Textures
Top Coat
Veins
Wrinkles

When you use powders like these, ya pay...

Wow, it's been a long time since I lost power
It's always a funny thing to be sitting around in the dark with a candle not having much to do

Just rain this morning, in the 4th most depressed city in the United States. I'm thinking about driving the S for the second time on Thursday. Most the salt is gone here

He needs to take a ride in the Frontier.

A2 - when I first went for a ride in the Frontier with Doug, he started off by saying how you could have fun with the truck. He holds the revs around 3k and dumps the clutch. The tires squeal and he goes through 2nd, up to the top of 3rd, and into 4th. Doug then covers up the speedo, and asks: "How fast do you think we're going?"

"Uh, I guess maybe 75 or so?"

"Ninety"
