Damn, Im almost not wanting to paint a stripe on mine now lol.

All jokes aside, black & pewter is an awesome scheme. Its smooth and each color goes against the other perfectly.

I also paid $450, but do not have the trunk and spoiler painted. My $450 included the rear tail panel and hood scoop both in glossy black.

Here's the black car, as soon as a few more things are done to the Hugger, then I'll post some pics of it. It has a manta as well. =)

Has anyone ever thought about doing a Carbon SS hood, and paint everything on it except the manta. I don't know if anyone makes a carbon SS hood that look's OEM, but that would probably look pretty crazy. =)
