Thanks for all the nice comments

I cant wait either. The guy that is doing my car did 3 GTO's 2 weeks ago for some "NFL agents".They were going to give them to the new draft picks or something like that. He customized their paintjob, exhaust and rims. He also does custom work for a custom shop on Melrose,Hollywood called "Platinum Motorsports". I've seen his work
He is also going to shave the door handles
And I was thinking of painting the rear bumper in a two tone, I just dont know what color yet

They actually replaced all of the quarter panel. It runs from the rear end all the way to the inside of the door.
