72 hour makeover pics!!!!

took some pictures yesterday at my buddys house of a lil 72 hour project from the past weekend.the picture quality is horrible..i know.
'01 car, originally pewter with stock wheels. it is now electron blue with AR rebels 18x10s and 18x9, ghost flames and ceta rear bumper...in a weekends time. has a million details to take care of and a few parts that have not been re installed, but i guess it came out alright!!.....not bad for a broke college student!!!!

Seems a little darker than E. Blue to me. Looks great though. I too want to know the cost of the paintjob and what was done to the original paint prior.

it was cloudy and raining in Houston so the color looks darker in these pics, but it is electron blue(779J) in Dupont Chroma Premier paint on Dupont Chroma Premier Clearcoat.sunlight gives this color a totally different look. i will take some better pics with a much better camera soon on a sunny day.

I'm sorry but, that ebay crap sucks. I paid $100.00 for black and polished SS emblems. They blow and suck.

I love that color blue. The car looks awesome with the rims. Not a huge fan of ghost flames though.

Looks AWESOME though.
