Default FINALLY!!!some pics from the paint booth

Some of the pics are blurry, and the hood and spoiler is dusty, but its enough for you to get the general idea...

Im sure you were as giddy as a school girl taking those pics

Came out looking REALLY good! Not my personal choice for the stripe, but it definately flows perfectly. I like how you incorporated the "tear" into the spoiler too.

Is it a charcoal to silver fade, or is it just in the lighting? I know you said you wanted to do a fade somewhere, but its hard to tell w/ those pics.

Cant wait to see everything installed!

Yeah, I can tell you now, I love it. I know its not for everyone and I fully excpected to get a bunch of "not feeling it" comments, but I wanted to do something no one else has, and I feel I accomplished that.
Good eye on the color too, it is Spiral grey with Black mixed in to make it darker, faded into a custom Silver. All topped with a pearl coat. The pictures really dont do the color justice.

HA! Im great That and I remember you saying you wanted to do a fade of some sort w/ the new color scheme.

Dont get me wrong, I think it came out looking great. Im digging the overall design, I just wouldnt personally do that. But overall, it flows over the lines and its not too in your face/gaudy (sp?)

I think you accomplished what you wanted with flying colors!

I really like the idea and the colors . . . not digging the style of the tears . . . too geometric.

I dunno... I like the tears. Different than what you see a lot and MUCH better than putting the tired and overdone flames into it.
