    The AR bolt graphic is closer to Arfcom than Meso's.

    Damn the attention to detail is off the charts on this board lol

    Not so sure about that. I had the same guy do the graphic, looks to be the same to me (except for my f'd up 'E' anyways). Here is Meso's:

    You can see why I titled this thread the way I did. A straight up copy of his work.

    The irony in all of this would be if someone from arfcom saw this and made a claim about intellectual property theft on the bolt graphic :rofl:

    Ha I didn't get that reference. Had to google it. Learn something new every day

    They Only Come Out at Night is the third studio album by Edgar Winter and the first by the Edgar Winter Group. A commercial hit, the album reached the #3 slot on the Billboard 200 chart and features two of the band's most successful and recognizable songs, "Frankenstein" and "Free Ride".

    Edgar was lollipop pop. Google his brother. Now THAT is blue-eyed delta blues.

    More off topic. Here’s a really random pairing too, Edgar Winter did a sound track to L Ron Hubbard’s multi book series ‘Mission Earth’.

    Love the interior wrap on the trim. Was it very difficult? Considering painting mine, but maybe a wrap would be a good first attempt.

    Actually it was pretty difficult (for me) I had never wrapped anything before and attempted it with the extra vinyl I had and it didn't come out very good. Thank God I didn't post any pics, I would have gotten skewered on here lol. I ended up bringing it to a wrap shop and they charged me $50 to do the two interior trim pieces and the mirrors. Even their work wasn't perfect though, you can see creases if you look hard enough on the outer edges.

    Speaking of imitations... I now see an equivalent to the gashole being sold online. Not by Meso of course.

    I didn't even think about taking it to a wrap shop. That's a good idea!
