You took the words right out of my mouth. The paint job won't be of any justice unless you go old school with it. I'm not a roofrack man myself, but it is part of the motif.

Now maybe the wheels you get and other mods you do might prove me wrong, i don't know. But IMHO semi-gloss cries out for old school.

And tell me what PaintShop/PhotoShop technique did you use for that effect? I have a photo of a cabby that I want to do that to. Thanks
