Default New color + ram air hood
Just wanted to get a few opinions on my choice of color, originally was navy blue metallic but I changed it to deep royal blue. The pics are fuzzy, I think I had some dirt or dust on my lens when I took the last 2, but what do you think?

Before





After

No, reason is because I've been highly inspired by a few people on the boards here with RIDICULOUS custom engine bays, I want to do something custom under there so I just left it alone...saved me $$$ too

yeah thats another thing I did was reinstall the factory springs. Basically what happened was I bought some Vogtland (sp?) springs and they were LOW. I just got sick of bottoming out everywhere, hell I couldnt even go over a speed bump by myself in the car, let alone with someone else in the car with me. Thats actually one of the reasons for the repaint, I bottomed out so bad on two occassions that the lower end of my front fascia and the rear bumper, passenger side by the tailpipe were really messed up

King Nothing, your avatar is beautiful!

Love the color, it cost you quite a lot to do that, right?

paint looks great especially w/ the z06s. you should get some clear lenses for the side markers though.
