Not what you had in mind!??!

It has been discussed in numerous threads, but I have yet to see a set of pics of a "naked" smart 451....so here you go. I took these shots while performing my 3rd color change today. ;) Enjoy!

Looks like C3-PO in The Phantom Menace.

What color changes have you gone through???

I would of at least had to drive it around the block just to mess with people.

So what's your time down to for a panel pull/replace?

I'll be pulling mine in about 3 weeks for a repaint if all goes as planned.

Could you imagine having all the panels in CLEAR see through plastic...

I've been wondering: How much does a complete set of panels weigh???

For inner city,freeway and driving just about any where theres road rage.Also would be golf ball resistant.

I thought about driving around, but the fact that the side marker wires/bulbs are just dangling...along with the rear glass hatch just sitting there, I decided not to. ;)

It takes me roughly 4 hours from start to finish to remove/replace an entire set of body panels. It's much easier to swap an individual their ENTIRE set so you can avoid breaking the bumpers down into 3 pieces each to retain your hardware. You also have to remove the taillights, gas door mechanism, grill, lower grills/fog light surrounds, lower valences, various hardware, etc. When you swap straight across, you can leave EVERYTHING in tact...and simply remove and reinstall on the other car. LOL

That WOULD be pretty cool. Who's gonna make it happen?
