+1, get rid of the strut bar. It doesn't do anything anyways.

+1 Looks great! Either paint the strut bar to match or trash it.

im not really into this sort of paint thing but this is definately an exception. i think its cool. that being said i think the WS6's are one of the few cars to get away with it too

Really cool looking. I've had a Stratocaster painted in a flip-flop PPG paint for about 10 years now. It's a psychedelic sunburst for sure.

I've always liked Chameleon painted cars. A guy around here had a black WS6 with Chrome Illusion Chameleon racing stipes on it, it was bad *** I wish I would have taken a picture of it, but this was about 5 years ago.

it is actually a multi layer paint job. Has different colors of paint which are almost translucent. Painted my bike in black cherry which is a 2 layer process. Its definately a pain in the *** and for 13,000 bucks, that really isn't that bad seeing as how the paint alone would probably cost between 2-3 grand (with a good clear coat) Very nice though!
