most paint stores can match it with a camera, so you can get the right color.

That's actually a nice color... and it's not too loud of a color.... I do understand the pain in an auto as a DD... BUT you'd be alright... my SS was my DD until just recently... and that's WAAAAAAAAAAAY brighter....

Your car is nice bro. I think I'm going to go for it. A M6 swap with cost around 2500 from what I've read and about a weekends worth of work. That would be alittle later down the line though.

if you can catch a finger nail in them it will have to be repainted but there will be no metal showing because the fenders are plastic and the hood is fiberglass

I knew the hood was fiberglass but I did not know the fenders were plastic. Good to know. Thanks.

So it is an ls1 and not a v6? I was guessing so because you were talking about an M6 and not a 5spd but just wondering! The color looks nice and odds are it will need repainted so make sure you get an extrememly low price for it! Good Luck!!

that's an awsome color, i definately wouldn't put black rims on that color though. i'd go chrome but it's all you, man.

Yeah Idk. A drop and some chrome SS's or Z06's. Maybe powder coat them later.

Just said black because it looked really good with those black Z06's.

oChristiano, I have a riddle for you.

How do you know the car you're looking at to buy is one of a kind?

Answer: When Brangeta has pictures of it he saved from ebay on May 7, 2005 when it was first put up for sale.
