Yeah, yeah. Figured that was coming, Mr. Whatif. That's where PSC shines. I'd be willing to bet you could have them do both. That way you'd be protected from anything. Well, almost. I suppose you'd still be a risk for damage do to...
  • Falling airplanes
  • Space junk reentering the atmosphere.
  • Extraterrestrial object impacts
  • A charging rhinoceros
  • An armor piercing anti-tank round
  • A lightsaber strike.
The list goes on and on...

What color is that? Looks great. I like the orange shackles. I might steal that idea but go with yellow

I like the shackles as well. Did you paint those yourself and if so with what and how?

Thanks. The bumper is a custom powder that was suppossed to match the grill. It is definitely not an exact match but a little close. The Chrysler paint code for the Mountain edition grill is PDM. Apparently can't match powder to paint codes very easily.

The d rings are just painted with Rustoleum spray paint from home depot and cleared on top of it. I sanded and and primed with self etching primer first. Honestly, it doesnt stick very well. Scratches off pretty easily.

Yeah I'd be grateful for whatever you can send over. You can email them to me at dusty@poisonspyder.com. If you can send them in hi-res, send me your address and T-shirt size too
