Looks great! The hood really looks good all black, not over done with a bunch of stripes. If you dont mind me asking...How much did the paint job cost?

That's a beautiful car! Black is beautiful, but as w/ anything good looking it's high maintainance. Great job though. 1 question, since you did a complete color change, did you have the all exposed parts like under the hood, under the dash and all that painted as well? Or if you disassembled your car would you find the original color?

Those wheels are meant to be small, they are for the track! So, what size did you go with on those wheels in the rear and front? Also, what backspacing did you go with too? Car looks great man, nice work. Wether you got the hook up with the paint job or the place is dirt cheap, it came out pretty damn good from what the pictures show! Can't tell the difference between that and a 5K paint job. Any under the hood shots? keep up the good work-later

tell me what you think about the sticker??

im not a huge fan of stickers(i usually give them to my friends hi DAVID )

i did purchase a lot through them so i am not "advertising parts i don't have" but then again does it look tacky??? i think it fits nicely!

i hope my car looks that good in three weeks, i just gave it to the body shop friday. it was maroon, and they are doing a whole paint job (under the hood, door jams, etc) in black. i think i'm going to ask them to shave the antenna though.

HOT DAMN! That car looks sweet! I want my car black!

Isnt it hard to change the color of a car,,, white to black? There is always going to be some part of the car that is still white...

if I could fine a place that can cover all the white with black I will do it.

i'm getting mine from maroon to black, all covered. ;]
they said it takes more time to "prep" it then to paint it, since black shows all the flaws ..
