Looks great. Not a fan of the black wheels though, but good looking either way.

thanks everyone, yeah the car def looks better in person. those are just crappy cell phone pics. I'll try to get some day time pics tomorrow.

I really like the color because it's pratically black at night but a nice shade of green in the light. I want to black out the turnsignals and corner lights, prolly do that later this week when I get some free time.

this is actually the same color but in the light

I was getting tired of the old crappy paint (tons of oxidation, missing clear, spider web cracking everywhere, etc.)

here's the most recent pics before paint, only ones I can find.
