You guys cant see it in the picture but my exhaust is dumped threw the front fascia. 5" pipe. Nothing would be more stupid then run dummy tips on a turbo car like mine.

Been doing sprayouts the last few weeks, and finally got the shade i want. Its grabber blue, but i added a few more toners to get the baby blueness out of it. Heres the exciting part, its also going matte clear. Should turn out something like this.

Side note but that looks like the Matte Blue Plastidip color.

I want to see the finished product!

Something tells me this color would look awesome on a Trans Am, but it would never fly on a Camaro.

Nice choice. It's different, but gives the car a fresh feel to it.

I built your car (or as close as I could get it) in Forza. I also added grand sport stripes, because I know you like how they look...figured it would help give you an idea on how they would look on this color. The game doesn't have flat paint, so I took the photo in the shade to try and keep the reflections down. Also, they don't really have a good drag setup to replicate what you run. Anyway, enjoy!

Don't hate...at least there is a car game out there that includes our 4th gen cars. For the most part they look spot on in game, down to the interiors.

haha, thanks dude. Im digging it. I would be down to do some strips like that if i had a different setup. But for a drag setup im pretty sure it would be wrong.

True, GS stripes give off more of a road race vibe.
