Paint is finished! (56k death!!) As many of you have seen in my other post HERE my car has been in the process of getting painted. Well, its finally finished as of last weekend, so here some pics. It would be completely assembled again if we didnt get 18 inches of snow sunday 
. Should I keep the headlight buckets the same color as the car, or return them to how they came stock? I'm stuck in the middle and cant really decide. Feel free to give your opinions.

No wet sanding or buffing yet
He sprayed one coat of sealer, 3 coats of polo green metallic (Sherwin-williams ultra 7000 series), one coat of black for the stripe and then 3 coats of clear. LS1 Tech Stories

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Unfortunatley I dont have a different set of rims right now, highschool budgets suck
I do plan on purchasing a set of black ZO6 motorsports with a chrome lip by mid summer though.
