Yes, It was a Matrix FX Copper Basecoat, I'm eventually going to get the SD card from my buddy's camera and post all this pics. He's the one whose got the skills. I was just there to watch the process and help with all the prep.

I appreciate the input from everyone. I am taking all of the comments about removing parts and changing things, but everyone here in Pensacola, knows thats me. I put my wheels up for sale because I'm thinking Im going to get set that are two or three piece, have a black or machined face and barrel. If that ends up working out, then I'm going to keep the wheel faces black and paint the whole barrels(and rivets) Kandy Copper. If that ends up happening, then I'm going to remove all the inserts and paint them black, or more than likely, I'll sell them and just get where the inserts are supposed to be painted black. I'm also installing my Kandy Copper fuel door so that it flows a little better. I'm also debating on doing the CETA rear bumper. I'm about to start a poll in a different thread to see what most people are thinking and would do.

That is going to look killer if you do the black wheel with the kandy.. Another idea is to have the whole wheel black and have a candy lip.. IMO that would look totally amazing!

I agree with some of the others but didnt want to say anything at first. I do feel that the chrome is competing with the paintjob. I first notice the chrome accents/wheels etc then the paint. That's why I sold the chrome Firehawk rims I had....was just taking away from the flames...too much flash. I would do like others have said gunmetal or dark silver or even black wheels and lose all the chrome.

Didnt know what to think when the car was in the covered area, but soon as I scrolled down and the sun light hit it, car looks incredible.

i saw this car in town last night. absolutely stunning, even at night. badazz is also a great guy, very cool. i love the car, and when y'all see under the hood you're gonna like it! the 6LE splitter looks right at home, and serves it's purpose.
i myself am not so much a fan of chrome accents, but the few that he's got on it don't look bad at all. and the sound is amazing with the cutout open!
my favorite part is the tuxedo top. changes the car's personality.

Thanks blackhawk400. Welcome to Pensacola. It was good talking to you. I hope you weren't waiting out in the parking lot too long. Let me know when you're ready to hook your Trans Am up. I'm sure I'll see you or you'll see me around. Let me know when your ready to start on your Trans Am.
