Definitely had a chip kit installed.  Lots of silicone.  Not that they wouldn't be fun to have around....

They look stock.  But I've been fooled before.

I don't want to get this off topic, but a really good friend of mine has a brother that does body painting like that. He makes a REALLY good living at it too. Talk about a dream job  ;)

Take a few classes or buy some instructional books and videos from Airbrush Action. (http://www.airbrushaction.com/). Buy a quality double action airbrushes and then practice practice practice. Find someone in the area that does this kinda work and talk to them to see if they will teach you a few things. Find a local art supply store and see if they know anything about airbrushing.

Absolutley beautiful early March day in the PNW today, blue sky, sunny, and upper 50's...  :)
 
It's supposed to rain all next week, and then the following week she goes in for the Green plastic surgery, so I thought it fitting to give her one last wash and take some photo's, these will most likely be the last photo's you ever see of her with the oem painted bodywork on...
