2003 Toyota Matrix with a complete custom paint job, Lambo Doors (all 4) and more:

It got a flip-forward hood, custom diamond motorcycle mirrors and a shaved roof antenna. It also got a mural on both sides of the hood (inside and outside), as well as blue true flames on the roof (front and back) and it also got a metal tearing effect on the hood and the hatch. Then the drips were re-shaded with blue instead of the black that was initially done. It makes the drips stand out even more.

At the 2008 Street Wheelz Custom Car Show, where it won a 1st Place trophy

This was with the first version of the paint job and without all of the extra work that was added above...
The paint job consists of the stock dark blue (almost purple) on top, with bright white under the drips, using House of Kolor Rich Gold Flake to brighten things up. The sides of the carbon fiber hood were painted to match the rest of the car, as were the headlight eyebrows... The white is what used to be called "Corvette White" by most custom painters. It is the brightest white there is. The drips were shaded with straight black in this version... They were also carried into the door jambs.
