Kinda reminds me of this old Yellow TA from a few years ago.

I was thinking about doing this exactly same design with my Silver TA, with the WS9 outlaw hood and Black Fikse FM5's.

looking at the yellow one, i think the front would look better if it didnt come to a point in the front, rather sorta rounded off where the front fascia dips down to kinda make tiny nostrils for non-ramair hoods. maybe, having both cars to look at now, if i ever did it, i would have them stop there first, and if i didnt like, then have them make it into a point. i just dont know how my formy would look with that paint.

Nice...
Need some detail on the side. The large white area looks real boring. Also, I would lile to see the stripes continued to the rear of the car...

I think that you should lose the stripe in the middle though. Get in the boat with both feet

the stripes cant continue to the rear of the car. the whole top of the spoiler is painted black. what he could do is paint the bottom of the rear bumper black, i dont remember what its called but ive seen it.

Looks sweet!!

Only thing I would do is take off the banner - the look of the paint job is so clean & simple, it doesnt need anything else to "embellish" it.

With black wheels, the side will get a lot more detail. Paint your calipers some color as well.

I like it however I don't like the little stripe in the middle. I was planning on doing this to my car however now i'm not sure and may go with some black blackbird strips. I already have the black ZR1s so now i'm just looking for something to set them off against the silver.

Overall, nice job though man.
