^ Correct. So the car would actually be LIGHTER, not having many layers of think paint on it :P

I'd say it would look awesome. Really classy. Get other things done too so its cost effective..like engine parts. Theres a myriad of things that would look nice. Radiator supports, battery holder, intake cover, etc etc..anything thats a "brakcet" than easily removed :P.

If youre going VIP style, by all means, if not, DO NOT DO IT. Lucanhookups car would be awesome with VIP chrome trim
