Another Satisfied Customer!!

Yesterday my buddy Chris and I took a little drive up to Las Vegas to surprise our buddy Corey with a little Cali style makeover on his "Black Bob".  I wish I had caught his reaction on tape because it was like an episode of Punk'd, but the best part was that he loved it.  Here are some pics...as always, the camera does the paint no justice.
