I'm not sure if it's my computer graphics card or not but it looks like it's a shade darker. I could be wrong. Looks 10000x better though and I'm glad you tinted your tails. Now get rid of those tips, unless you have a 98-02 rear bumper. =] btw if you don't want to get rid of that sunroof. I would just paint the hardtop around it and the sail panel black. It'll match a lot better

yes, it actually matches alot better than the pictures lead you to believe. the entire car is filthy except the front bumper which has just been wet sanded and polished.
