Ground effects look like you just bought them from a black car and put them on.

Sorry about the 3rd grader comment, it's not quite that bad. I still don't care for it, but it's different and that's all that matters. Hate to hear you're car got hit. How in the world did he hit you?

Careful on the personal attacks airfix, no matter how stupid he sounds. The admins here don't appreciate it and will slap your hand with a ruler. I found that out personally today.

man, i finally got a good day off to go out and inspect the car without rain. I am a good bit dissappointed in the quality after the guy wet sanded and buffed the paint. He didn't charge much and i new it would be risky from the beginning, but damn am i upset. I am about to go get some price quotes on just getting the whole car painted again. I'm thinking som... really sexy or black.. i dunno...

You asked for an opinion earlier and I'd honestly tell you it looked like you car was permanently being chased by its own shadow. That said I think you should get it repaint all black next time... Props for trying something very different though.
