Default Pics of my Graphite Gray WS6!

Hi fellow LS1 owners! This is my first post ever but not my last.I just finished setting up my pics of the new paint job with a fresh coat of Zaino. I fell in love with this color after seeing it on the Lexus IS300. The car used to be White but that was to plain for me. It hurt seeing the car completely taken apart at the shop, but when it was done it brought a tear to my eye (I was happy, not sad). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It took 3 months, but the shop did an good job. Pictures aren't doing this car any justice at all, you have to see it in person to appreciate it. It feels good driving it around and seeing other LS1 owners with theirs mouths open! And thanks to the guys that have given me a thumbs up salute, it makes me feel great at the end of a long day of work. Well, I if it wasn't for this site I wouldn't know everything that I know about my car now. Typing this post wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Thanks.

My Album!

I'll have better quality pictures up later. I have alot of people tell me my car is black but in the sun there is no mistaking the color. I like when people look at my car and think it's black but as the get closer they see its true color.

Looks awesome! Doen't it feel great cruising around in a unique colored car!!! I love my Electron Blue SS. Out of curiosity, is your engine bay still white??? Reason why I ask, is my car started out black, and they left the engine bay the OEM color. Everything else is blue.

And of course WELCOME!!!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Xsta Z 28,I had the engine bay painted also, they did a good job, the only thing that stayed white was the firewall. You can barely see that though. They removed everything they could accept for the engine.My favorite part of the day is when I get to drive it around! Thanks for the welcome! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

That is one hell of a nice looking paint job.

Just so you know, I heard about your car over at LS1.com and I had to come over and take a look.
Very impressive and very mean looking.

Once again, great job and I can't wait to see some more pics.

Let me say that you have the absolute baddest -Body I have EVER seen. That car is so damn sexy man. One of these days when I actually get some money I'm going to have my car painted that color for sure. It'll be a long time aways though so enjoy the exclusiveness while you can. I cannot believe my eyes <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> to your car man. VERY NICE!!!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did all that cost you?
