The color is definitely unique, wouldn't be my first pick but I like that its different. I've considering dipping my car but I have never actually seen a car in person that's dipped so its hard to pull the trigger. I think I would go with a lighter blue or orange for my car, we shall see. Unique ride you have OP!

Can't a car now be dipped in pretty much any color you could paint a car with? I know there is also the option to have the finish cleared/glossy, which is what I'd prefer.

Wow it was just a joke. Why so serious. Most people are pissed because I am godly and untouchable, and they are jelly, not because I point out the obvious pink color is obviously pink. I love pearl colors, any color. Hell I have acrylic rainbow colors painted on my front lip and fan shroud just for fun on my daily. I am not afraid of colors/rainbows/opinions, and you guys shouldn't be either.

I almost feel like when "they" try to hide something, that just makes it so much more obvious. If you are scared of opinions then why ask for them?

What's your boost of choice?
Thank you Alchemist. Yes, when I was doing my homework I came across a lot of colors and was just about to settle for a variant of the matte white. Then when I went to the shop and they showed me their wall of samples, which was still just a 1/3 of the colors out there. Yea, I was in deep ****.lmao

My boost of choice is and will be way into the foreseeable future, will always be my Supercharger(Vortech V1 T-trim). The whine will never get too old and will never out grow me.

Yes, They are an official DYC Installer just outside North of Chicago.

They now offer an auto flex option. Which essentially if you really love the color that your dipping your car in. They will add it to the mixture which hardens the dip and adds a high gloss look. From what was explained and showed to me, your car looks like it will have a regular paint job done. And in turn you can wet sand and wax it. All the while you can re dipped your car another color.

What helped me decide eventually in the end and knocked all the other colors outta the ballpark. I like the color regardless for the record. But... when this color is under an overcast or not in direct sunlight. Which didn't happen when the shop had taken the pics. Is when literally it shines for me and the color becomes everything that Fonzie describes in the video(attached below)and then some. I think brings out the true look of the Trans am, for me atleast. Which adds to the age old saying " A Camaro looks like it will kick your a$$. A Trans am(fear bird)...well it looks like it will come over and do it".

Love the color, love the car. In fact it was your car (back when it was silver like in your sig) that made me pull the trigger on the WSQ hood and Wings West kit. (will post pics elsewhere when its done)

It looks fantastic in the new color and if you are going to dip or wrap the car you have to go with an unique color otherwise what's the point?

Can't say it enough. it looks fantastic, probably even more so in person in the sunlight.

Dam man. I don't consider my self anyone special. But, if I can have any kind of inspiration in a positive way, well, so be it. Like me before you and the one before. We all have taken inspiration through others at one point or another. I'm sure your Ta will be right up there once it's done. Thank you

That looks really good, I would do the lights black though being that your mirrors/wheels/spoiler is black but that's just my opinion. Either way looks awesome and love your wheel setup!

Love the color, but severely dislike the headlights. You're happy with them, so that's all that matters, haha! It's amazing to see what folks are doing with dip now, especially with the new spray system and their new formulas that are more UV resistant. They have come a long way!

Absolutely love the color. Body kit is kickass and stance is perfect. Even the headlights are working for me which is a first with clear headlights. Very outside the box, you pulled it off. Well done.
