Cab has good color. Shame it is banged up. Playfield looks like it will clean up nice. Getaway is awesome on a clean, waxed playfield - super fast! I applaud you for taking on the challenge. Look forward to more posts.

Side art is killer. Could use some red but still awesome. The original art is lacking so like what you did. Maybe your airbrush guy can touch up the play field.
Ignotion switch looks great. Any plans for the shifter? A more realistic shifter knob would be perfect.
I wouldn't go too crazy with sharks and a bunch of crap painted everywhere. I love the midnight/black vibe - keep that going.
The shift insert looks okay to me but I see what others are saying. Instead of replacing it, how about putting a tint over it? That seems a lot easier and you could light it up with a brighter led. The Ferrari looks awesome btw. Curious on what you are going to do with the rest of the game.
Quoted from Tbgolfen:Finished the striping today to match and a little bit more work on the palms. And of course, a Magnum P. I. mustache!

The stache is epic! This is definitely my favorite thread in a while. Like the others said, doing something with the supercharger would be cool. I thought about painting mine black around the red lenses to give it a more 3D look. Ferrari's don't have a hotrod scoop like that, though. A police light bar or something like that might be an option but that would be a huge project in itself.
Quoted from Tbgolfen:Yellow stoplight is now black. I have a list in my head of mods/changes. I want to do a mod to track the speed of the ball in the super charger and show it digitally on a speedometer. Apron will be custom. Probably will need to add some lighting effects. There are a couple ideas that are way out there, I mean way out there (at least for me).
Love the supercharger idea! Love the look you got going. Cabinet looks killer and playfield is coming along great. One more idea is to paint the sides of the cabinet or do custom blades to go with your new look.
Beautiful! That's going to look amazing light up in the backbox. I would try to use color leds to bring out the sunset and lights.
Those plastics look horrible. Obviously misaligned and horrible colors. How does someone approve that for sale with their name on it to pinheads obsessed with detail?
Quoted from rgb635:If I had a Getaway I would mod the supercharger to have actual opening choke plates with LEDs behind them instead of those standard flasher domes protruding. The plates would open in sync with the lights flashing!!
Not sure that is a good idea. The flashers go on and off quite a bit and tied to pop bumpers.
Quoted from Aurich:So sounds like I should just take off the word multiball at the very least?
That's what I would do - just call it supercharger. Secret mania is an easter egg thing and only a novelty. Everything else is great.
Love the speaker panel and translite. The look is perfect. I also think you went the right direction with the supercharger. Black and chrome is killer. Have you thought about painting some of the plastics that are not lit - like the ones covering the supercharger loop ends?
Stunning! Love how you kept it a Getaway yet transformed it into something new. The cabinet, translite, apron, and everything really come together well.
Best Getaway ever. Flat out awesome. Awesome pics make it look even better! Wish I could see it myself.
Wish I could check the game out in person. More videos would be the next best thing. Really like what you did. Love the idea of adding more sounds - especially to jackpots. I would prefer sticking to car sounds and police radio banter but that's just me.
