I'm confused by your post.

Will it be painted with the shiny nice wheels still on the car, or on some junk wheels?

But thanx for the positive posts like "lookin good", "Electron blue will look great" " Happy your almost done, what parts U planning on installing?", Instead of the "that guy gonna jack your wheels up cause where sure he is not a proffesional or doing this at a professional school which trains students how to properly paint cars for customers" Thanx, next time any of you guys post something that u find good news I will try and find some negative aspect of it

I will, I have the paint scheme on my cardomain link below that can give u an idea of what it will look like, found a pic of a Yellow & black camaro with the scheme I am going with. I have been waiting since May for the car to be painted cause of some of the body work and custom work that was done and plus the fact the school was closed down for summer

Lol I always get the same ****. Instead of nice car I always get "where's your mirror" or something.
Car should be sick. What wheels are on it? I love the t/a spoiler too.

Bumper and lights removed but wing,mirror, door handles and locks still on. If you gonna do it might as well do it right. I mean your that far already why short cut it now? When you post pictures for every one to see you have to take the good with the bad. Thats what forums are for. Possible you just over looked those things like nice wheels left on for painting or parts that should be removed. Just some thoughts.
