I hate to be negative here, but...it really doesn't look like electron blue to me. It looks much lighter. Don't get me wrong. I like it. It just doesn't look right for some reason. Maybe poor lighting? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Custom Electron Blue Paint Job Pics...
Hey thanks for all the compliments! Regarding lower it, i would like to, but i had already done that on my o1 bird and my ET, even with relocation brackets really sucked. I didn't have a front lip either so i know i would scrape alot. Maybe in the future who knows, i am learning towards all show now anyway.
As for the color, thats why it says CUSTOM electron blue and not "regular corvette electron blue!". Its a base mix between viper blue and corvette chevy blue with LOTS of pearl, as you can tell from the before pictures. Some of the after pictures (all shot on crappy cloudy days) show a slight color changing ability even in regular low lighting conditions. From slight purple to black and blue. I think it looks great.
As for the lid, it was originally carbon fiber, i don't know exactly what the guys did in regards for sanding but i'm sure they did! The lid and fuel rail covers (not installed yet) will be flamed soon, just waiting on getting an airbrush for myself, i want to do the flames me self hehe. Thanks again guys for the compliments!

Ah, i see the red spot you are refering to, it is only shown in one picture, its glare. The digital used isn't the best.
