I love the car, from the exhaust tips forward but i think that i would get tired of that color pretty fast, i would rather have stock red or black . The stock red when clean just glows and the black looks like a corvette coming down the road, Thanks for posting this though, it always nice to see something different.

Not too bad, although it would look better with the front bumper fill-in piece for the license plate.
My favorite color is BLACK, give me black with a wetsand job so good that it looks like my tinted windows, like GLASS!
By the way, it's better to have less coats of clear, otherwise it's hard to get a mirror-like finish. Or atleast that's what my paint guy says.

That doesn't really look very Electron Bluish in those pics, but maybe it's just me. I am with ZPaul2Fresh8 - nothing is better on a T/A than black. IMO, nothing is better on an F-Body that black. Congrats to the guy for getting what he wanted, but I don't think it's for me...
And also, some molding could stand to be done around those ground effects, especially the front. (Click 1 - Click 2)
Not saying his car looks bad - he has a very nice car, no doubt, that's just my opinion.
