I think that color would be a little pimpish/blingy. It suits a luxury car better. Just IMHO. Never seen it on an f-body.

UGLIEST headlights ever. And his hood, bumper, & fenders need to be lined up better. it looks like there are large gaps between the hood and front bumper and somethin doesn't look right where the front corner of the hood on the drivers side meets the fender. The passenger fender doesn't line up with the front bumper either. Was this car in a bad wreck? The color is pretty sweet though

yea actually the car had been wrecked pretty good. he was still in the process of repairing it and took some pics the first day of the paint because he was so excited about it. Im sure it came out better but i never tracked him down cause i just didnt care very much lol. i say go for that color and then post some pics!! have you decided one way or the other yet?

The White Diamond color is just like the one that is on the new Lexus cars. Almost like Cadillac's Pearl White but with a more BLING look. I have seen pics of an SS with this color before, I will try to find them again.
