• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Preview of paint job...The Graphics are done.

Re: Preview of paint job...getting the rest of graphics this week

I picked up my Spyder tonight with the graphics. The work is nice but I am a bit disappointed in the overall look. The back fender just isn't what I was going for. The rose on the cross is too large and I don't like any of the leaves on the sides or the rear. When I get back from Valcourt I may see if it can be changed or repaired or whatever. Like I said, he did nice work and the craftsmanship is excellent, it just isn't what I was expecting. If I could do over again, I would have the sides and rear done in the same style as the trunk was done. Had I known how nice the trunk would turn out, that would have been great. I will post photos in the morning when the lighting is better. I still love my Spyder though.
 
I posted the graphics photos up with the originals but I will post them down here as well.

Hi Deb,
I know from what you described in chat that you wanted a climbing rose with vine on the cross, so understand your perspective. Still, this rendition is very unique and attractive.
Thanks for the photos.

Thank you everyone for the compliments. I really do like it and the graphics have grown on me. As bjt said, seeing them in the daylight made a big difference. When I picked it up last night it was dark and the lighting wasn't that good for a real look. Thank you again everyone.
