Question Paint Job opinions.....

I have been thinking about getting my T/A repainted, and I want to mount a ram air hood and change the main color to a graphite gray metallic. I also want silver rally stripes maybe with a tangerine metallic or SOM pinstripe on them. I found a pewter WS6 and edited it. What do you think?

ya man that actually looks pretty good, but something that would even add to it is a lil bit of red ghost flames inside the stripes...

That looks AWESOME!!! I would go two steps further and paint the spokes of the rims that color and make the bird on the nose match the stripe's color scheme...

Here's my quick and crappy photoshop:

That looks similar to the Spreewell edition camaro. I thought it was painted close to the same colors.

I like the idea with the front plate bird, but I dunno anout the wheels. Maybe if I saw some better pics of the graphite spoked TTII's my opinion might be different. I think that shade of grey is good, since I don't want it to be too dark since it'll look more like black, and show dirt like black. One of the redeeming features about my current pewter paintjob is it's uncanny ability to be dirty as hell, yet still look clean.
