Meh...paint is hazy in some spots, airbrushing is shaky and not professional...too many stripes/lines/tones/hues running throughout. If it sizzles your bacon awesome! But its not for me, sorry.

The rims would make it complete. I like the way they did the 2-tone. It looks nice.
How did they stitch the headrests? Did they have to remove the seats?

I like the hoods for the montes/imps but I think the paint on this car is a little much.

I think you either need a better camera or hosting sight, those pics. are grainy, I applaud you for doing something different. But I thing the inside and outside should compliment each other, I'm talking about the GXP 327 graphics, not only should it have said GXP 5.3 but the outline from the headrest should match the outline on the doors. Maybe the paint scheme should have been reversed, and the rally strips should be pinstriped like the two tone partition.

Pulled the fronts and removed the rear, cut out the leather and restitch.

I think it looks good i judge this not based on what i would like but in general of someone elses taste but i cant stand that air brush of the GXP and it seems like you would stick with a single theme of the car so the airbrush matching the head wrest.
