x90 Makeover, finally

tjjeepjeep · 10-26-2012, 07:39 AM

I finally had my 96 Suzuki X90 repaired/painted. It tangled with a guardrail due to black ice about 3 years ago and just hadn't had it completely fixed. Went with the stock blue color but Scott Armstrong suggested a black top; so I decided to go with that. (Now I have to call it something other than my cute little purple car, cause it is very definitely blue.) His suggestion was also to smoke the taillights, which I did and it kicks ass. But I don't have a picture of it yet so you'll have to take my word for it. For anyone thinking they'll see it today...it's raining, so it's in my garage.

My thanks to CK Customs in Fairfield for her beautiful makeover.

I would if my landlord would have built a bigger garage.

I only own the blue one in the middle (rose between two thorns). Scott Armstrong owns the other two, plus one more inside the shop in the background...and his Dad owns one as well.

fordman00 · 10-26-2012, 05:14 PM

O I see. Lol. I was gonna say make one of those a dedicated Wheeler.
