    I Call Her Ricki Lake

    I called my last car Sally, so to keep the tradition going I named this one Ricki Lake. because she's the same color as a lake..and I needed to put Ricki before it to make it catchy.. no one is named just 'Lake'...eh I don't have to explain myself to you XD.

    Since I've had her I've painted the sidemarkers, kidney, and bumper trim black, debadged the trunk, and painted the tails red. Also replaced the hood latch, but that doesn't matter ;). No more whoreage until I attend to a lot of things, I promise.

      Thanks! There's a few issues I need to fix. It looks naked without a lip, I know. Hope to get that straightened out soon.

          Rodneys car always did present itself nicely , hell I've got a bunch of pics of our cars together from back in the day .
          It looks exactle the same as it did in '03 with the exception of the wavy quarter it has now . :p

            Thanks. Funny thing is, I can't decide either lol. I mean, I like them better than basketweaves but they're not the rims I ultimately want. Maybe Remembers or Racing Harts.

              If they weren't that finish they'd be quite nice probably. Maybe black?

                  Lookin Alot better than my ownership!! Shadowline FTW. Keep it tastefully clean though. Throw in some nice interior goodies (Mtech2 steering, sport seats, etc) and you'll have a A+++ ride. Save up for good wheels though...I threw the Konig Imagines on to suffice. Remembers will make it look better.

                    Thanks lol, Rodney really took care of this one. Although I did love the front end of my Zinno... I hardly ever took any ass shots of it. On this car I like the rear end better, for now at least.

                    I told Rodney I would continue to take care of it. Hope he likes the small changes I've made so far. There'll be more to come. You always gotta bring up that quarter panel don't you lol.

                      Yeah, they come out kinda blingy in certain lights. The paint is also very dependent on the lighting. This car is like a chameleon.

                      Black centers are def. a possibility.

                      Rodney, I'll be sure not to rice it out... too much :)

                          Well I bet there aren't 2 people with the name "Lake" ;). I'm still not changing it though. She might get confused.

                          Thanks. The wheels are Konig Imagines 15x7

                              I like it without badges/ spoiler.. Get the front sorted out and she'll be ready to party.
