Like the paint scheme...You should get the undersides of the side view mirrors painted in charcoal grey as well

I don't like it compared to the old paint. It just feels like it is missing paint. You got all that gray paint around the bottom rear and sides of the car, and none on the bottom front.

As long as your happy with it thats all that really matters

I was thinking the same, but going maybe one step further - going w/some new side mirrors. Ganador mirrors would look nice.


I think it's definitely a 'see it in person' paint scheme. I like the lines, but the gray doesn't pop at all in pics. Black would have been nicer, but I'm biased on that.

it is a see in person color.....which is nice because it is more subtle and thats what i was going for.....and i came up with something for the continuity of the hood line.....the undersides of the mirrors would look funny because they would make the tinted windows and rims look off.....ganador mirrors are also in the works
