Default full custom paint on a 96z28

Just bought this 96 z28 vert to fix up and paint. It needs a transmission and some body repair. the plans are a quad stage candy black cherry paint job with some true fire style vapor flames coming off the front tire trailing back and some other minor custom touches. so far i have removed and striped the bumpers, and stripped the hood, shaving the body line on the side, shaved the emblems on the bumper, put new window motor in and had to repair the driver side window regulator, and working on some rust repair on the drivers quarter. i still have to figure out how to fix the sloppy trunk lid hinges since i guess they dont make them anymore.. one pic is of towing the car home, other pic is a week of ownership,skull pannel what the color is gonna be. it looks black under low light then pops a sweet black cherry in the sun, the pic of the miata is what i painted for a friend about a month ago.. any comments are very welcome!

paint looks good. not my style but it is very well done.
i don not like the body line on the doors and fenders shaved, it almost makes it look like it doesn't match with the front and rear bumpers because it no longer has any flow to it.
