Default New paint, new hood, new pics!

This paint does some crazy things, we call it ghost gray pearl for reasons you can really only see in person... Anyhow, here she is finally!

Here you can see a bit of the "ghost" affect. You can't really make out the car even with a 16 sec exposure and flash. (Yeah it was actually this hard to even see the car in person! both myself and the girl with me at first glance didn't see the car after walking away we had to actually look at it for a second to see where it was lol)


Auto settings.. can't really make out anything here...


Here is where you can really tell about the car




Daytime pics!

thanks everyone! The color is really nifty in person, the pearl and mica really pop the curves of the car because of the way shadows cast on it

1fastbird the foglamps are just stock with the factory bulbs. I used a long exposure on that shot; that's why they look so bright.

WOW! Looks great man. Some lowering springs would really be a nice touch.

That's a tough one. I think either one is going to look great, but if it was me I would go with clear. Good luck on that though.

Lower it and put some nice fat rims/tires on there and you are set.. Wonder how black or color matched wheels would look.

I'm really digging the color, but your exhaust is touching the grass!

I wish it were the US exotics. This one is just from the ebay seller, but it is the superhawk hood... shtty quality for the record. That aside it does look awesome lol.

trust, yeah the exhuast is a bit low, actually makes lowering the car a non-option. But it is the only way my shop would agree to running it. I've thought of asking them to lift it a bit before the axle and just add a couple bends to it...

Thanks again for all comments so far!

Paint looks great, do not like the hood and your exhaust is way to low.

Other than that, tint it, lower it and get new wheels
