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.

Yep, generally speaking, that is true. My painter dude put on heavy coats of clear because after the first coat he realized he was going to have to wet sand some off to get the orange peel off. My painter also said it is better to not have "tons" of paint on the car.

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.
