That is the car domain site.

The rear diffuser, splitter, etc were all custom made.

Beautiful car man.

If there's one thing I realized about Maui Blue over my first several years of ownership, it's that it ALWAYS comes out looking lighter in pictures (about half as dark) than it really is in real life. I can't count the number of pictures I took where my car looked more or less as light as yours in the pictures. Looks great though, really hard color to capture on film.

Thanks for the compliment. I agree maui blue looks lighter in pics. The original color is gray. I thought about changeing it back.

Re: blue thirdgens

Thanks yall,

I sold my yellow iroc to get this one. Its a good setup for sure. I like a good looking ride, but was a little TOO racey for me. It still has the stickers on the ground effects and supercharged emblem on the back...

Re: blue thirdgens

I'd be interested in seeing close up pictures of the rear diffuser. I've always thought it would be cool to put one of those on the back of my car since I dont have any exhaust tips back there anymore.
