Default Manta on!
I got my manta painted on a few days ago. I'm very happy with how it came out! I'll get better pictures later, I just went out and snapped a few but it's very sunny.

When I had my red ss done like this, I also had a very thin piece of pinstriping done about 1/8'" from the manta, all the way around it, it looked very good.

I was think about adding a pinstripe, but i don't like the pin striping unless you continue the stripe all the way back at the deck and spoiler.

I love the manta on a red car with black rims, I'll have it one day. Any plans to do anything with the rear hatch? Sweet car BTW!
