Damn Kim, you sure did make that Brazillian cab look great. They both look great. On the second one, I had to stop and do a double take on the bail-or lack of a bail. I looked at the first pic and was thinking, "hey, she forgot the bail". Then after looking at the second pic for awhile, I realized you hid the bail on this one. Pretty tricky.

I sure wish I had your flair for this, yours always look so sleek and elegant.
