The bird is Red/Gold Kameleon paint.
These pics were before her bath and she still has not been waxed yet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I still have one more week of paint curing and then she will get spoiled <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

While it may not be my taste, I think it looks pretty good. Certainly not something I've seen before. And most assuredly not something all the other dime a dozen WS6 LS1 cars have.
Good job!
Good job!

I think the work looks very good; however, I don't like the color at all and I think it very distracting. Just my 2 cents.

Very unique! I like it BUT...most things like that can't stand on their own.
My 2 cents? Lower it, tint the windows, and think about some nice (doesn't have to be expensive) aftermarket wheels.
I like the fact that the grills are painted and that the wing tips on the design stay up high on the doors.
Above all else, if you haven't used Zaino yet, NOW is the perfect time to start. Those colors would be blinding with 3 or 4 coats.

I like it. Different, yet a statement from the
past at the same time.

Very unique. And a very good choice of colors IMO. And considering pictures never do a car justice, it looks to be very professional too! I just wish all radical paint scemes were planned out and executed to well. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I think it looks awesome. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It's something unique and different, but in a good way! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Maybe you should post another pic after you can clean it or wax it really good. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Looks sweet. Very creative and unique.
I would like it if the ram air cover were black. The colord covers make it look like the ram air is covered up and blocked off.
Other than that. I like it! <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I like it.. the design flows very well and keep in mind that with a design this "different" some people are not going to like it.. its the problem you have when you try anything new <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> (some people just have no class in expressing that it is not their style.. forgive them.. {this was directed at the first response}
Overall workmanship looks good and its a nice nod to the heritage of past T/A's.. Dropped with tint and some very aggressive wheels and this would be a real attention getter.. To me it dosent detract for the overall appearance either.. it a T/A for gods sake.. a car that screams for attention.. this would not work at all on a Camaro
Nice to see something DIFFERENT for a change <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Oh, and it was great to meet you at the San Diego show.. you and Dan are a class act <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Well I Thank you all for the comments, good and bad <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> , but like Xsta Z 28 said, My opinion is what counts the most and I LOVE my car!!!
But here is a another pic after being washed and using the Zaino Gloss only, she still has not been detailed but will get clayed in October <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
As far as more mods, I am not done with her yet, I am planning on getting Light Rose Red tinted windows (sides and back) and I want to do something to the rims (have not decided what yet), and I am going to change the interior to a light Gold. (not sure what material yet)
So she is far from done. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img src="http://www.sheyslotsoflinks.com/images/cleanbird.jpg" alt=" - " />
