sexy! but if i may make one suggestion, paint the inside the fiasca flat black. you can still see through the grille (which looks pimp btw) and i always thought it looked nicer with a black background instead of the body color. would also go well with your burger panel.

very nicely modded, love the wheels, hood and CME. nice work.
oh, and i dont think you are supposed to wax fresh paint for a few months. or atleast thats what i have always been told, the paint has to finish curing, and to do so it must "breathe", the wax seals it up and doesnt allow it to harden completely. this could make your paint more subseptible (sp?) to chips and scratches later on. but maybe some body/paint guys could chime in here with better info. just check before waxing that baby

Did you have the entire car repainted, including the door jambs and under the hood? And if you don't mind, how much did they charge you to re-paint it all using the same color (Pewter)?
Looks great BTW!
