Haha, I got the same wheels... bastard! Kind of a cool concept, flat drab green and black two tone. I assume the Lowes is down in the Richmond area? Good to know that there are some vans rolling around this area that aren't stock. :cheers:

I have seen the same thing done but with a airbrush. It looked way better but probably cost 50x more to do.

I dont know about goth. By the OD green paint flat black on top and POW/MIA sticker I'd say its more of a nod at the armed forces myself. Neat idea though!

don't like the set up but appreciate the MIA/POW. It reminds me that soon we should see a few AWOL's listed as missing in action come out of small villages wanting to see their families again due to getting on up in age.
