Finally got Nudnik to the car wash and knocked off the dust from last week's rainstorm. Yes, AZ is so dry, it's dusty even when it rains!

C ya,

That black and purple is so cool! I love the pirate item in the front. But what are those smaller object in the front windshield? I'm so curious!

Oh! That's not a pirate. Those are girly skull seat covers. OK maybe they are kind of pirate-y.
Those are ducks in the window.

Just installed the pre-requisite "Actual Size" sticker and the door handle covers by Aesthetic Creations. I am too lazy to take more pics.

I wasn't going to put it on this one. I thought it would take away from the blacking out that I'm starting to do. Then I thought, "How could I not put it on?".

Just got mine on this morning. Got it a couple weeks ago from Mike at Aesthetic Creations, but the car's been a dusty, rain-spotted mess and I've been busier than a one-armed paper-hanger lately. Finally got it washed last night, and went out this morning and put it on....



C ya,
Dutch

Albie, I think the badges are my fav too. I think so. But then I look at the stripes and get all giggly. Then I look at the beltline and the scuttles and do the same. I need to chill!
