But if you like it, go ahead and do it. You bought your car for yourself, and as long as you are happy, that's all that matters.

You guys need to remember that this pic is photoshopped..but I knew some wouldn't like it! In real life it looks almost DEAD ON Hugger Orange though...and yes..its more of a Metallic..it DOESN'T have flakes...but it is Thugged out 
What can I say? You just don't know me in person!
And I did have them paint the headlights and the grill black again...so it does have the original look!
Ill get some pics up of the car already...right on for all your replies

Since the car was vandlized...insurance coughed up $2,650 for the damages! The paint job, plus 7 interior pieces (the same color) costed me $3,250...which is a SUPER DEAL considering the cost of the paint! So all in all, I came out the pocket $550 for a new look 
Another shop that does the same kind of work quoted me $5k+ for the same thing..so it all depends on what and who you know!
This shop just paints SO MANY cars a week...that they are more than happy with the profits they make...so they give up the super deals
I could have had black ghost stripes with the orange shining through for another $500...and then another $700 would have gotten me white leather interior...including covering the dash board in white leather!
Like I said...if I'm lucky...I'll have all that for the summer...but I'm not looking getting my hopes up.
