Just finished customizing my scoot and I had to show her off. It's what geeks like me do.
Just some paint, chrome trim and a leather seat (which took way too long for me to sew) and BLAMMO!!!!

Nice! LOVE the chrome trim on the front fender/ wheel cover thingy (what do you call those?). Very stylin'. Might just have to borrow your idea and do that myself!

I like the way your seat looks. Very stylish

+1 on the seat, lookin' snappy... any chance we could get a close-up of the front panel?

That's an impressive job on the blending of the black and red. I agree, though, I'd love to see a close-up of the front panel.

Right now the center is a decal that is acting as the place holder for the final product.

Very cool. What did you use to mask it off? Looks kinda Twilight Zone or something.

...either that or Ren & Stimpy. What's going in place of space girl, or is that a secret?

Shhhh...
It's a secret.

She is no longer Scarlet, but she is still a harlot. The new, improved Veronica!

Inspired by the classic "Woody" wagon.
She took two months, alot of fixing (this was my first customizing job for a vehicle) I can't even tell you how much paint was used. Overall, I am satisfied.

that's amazing! I could add those to my scoot, and a chrome fender and start calling it Chitty Chitty Putt Putt.

I like what you did with the plastic chrome. The tan looks good with the dark brown.

where can i get that chrome trim from? i it a specific shape they sell for the buddy or does it just flex to fit any edge?

They have it at automotive stores; I got mine at Autozone. They have different widths and it's flexible to mold to any shape.

The cost/improvement ratio isnt there but the NCY shock that comes on the Blackjack would match nicely with your new colors.
