(maybe not the metro lol)
I agree, leave wrinkles in the pavement.

Oh i totally agree with the last two posts. That has been my mentality since day one when i took the Firehawk decals off. It still has the "collector's" VIN number and i still have the console plaque, but that's it. But like i said, everything is different. I don't much care for the Formula body styles (which mine was) so when i did the paint i said...meh, shrugged my shoulders and said...let's do a T/A conversion too. Now it's basically a 94 Firehawk cloned into a 97 WS6. I get **** for it all the time, from the "true, and purists" but it's like you said...it's my car, and i modified it to something i can't help but smile over everytime i get in it.
Here's a pic:

i know this is a weird question, but how black is it? i'm painting my car soon and i want it to be BLACK black, mega black, level 10 super black if you catch my drift haha. I guess it's getting to the time where i should start picking out a color, once i buy tires paint is the next thing.
Where did you get the paint? My friend's dad is fixing my dent and painting it for me, so i have to find some good paint for it.

But this color is not for you. It's (depending on what light and angle you are) black, blue, purple, grey...so it's not a "black" that you would want if you are looking for pitch black.

That's a damn good looking car SLP. I echo what a few others have already said, I would mod it too, mod abuse is much different than abuse from neglect, ie, not changing oil and **** like that.
