[Jimmy Koh]

Nice Sean came back to me with this, and what do you guys think? :

[Jimmy Koh]

So I got a print out, and overlay on my T8 to see if I really like it:



And somehow I felt it resembles this:

Looks just as good to me, Jimmy. I wouldn't feel it's any less beautiful, that's for sure.

Okay, bear-dressed-like-cop....

Stay tuned and you tell me what you see in the pics I'm gonna show you guys.

Either one of these after clear coating is applied is going to look spectacular, IMO.
