Looks real nice, cool license plate too. My only question is what are you gonna do with the red interior, doesnt exactly go with blue ext. A nice set of black leather 4thgen seats and a black int donor car from your local junkyard and youre all set. Either way it looks good, nice job!!!

I had it Black for 5 years. I wanted something different. The black was original and never looked nearly as shiny as I'm sure it did new, so I never saw it with a GOOD black paint job. I just love the color it is now though.
I think the Red interior looks a bit out of place when it's extremely sunny out and the blue gets real bright. However, any other time it doesn't look so out of place. At night or on a cloudy day it doesn't look strange at all. Certainly unique. How often do you see a blue car with red interior.


For those interested. I do plan to put a single silver stripe around the bottom and the IROC-Z door stickers back on.

I had my car close to five years with the same black paint job and im starting to get kinda tired of the color.Plus its really starting to show its age.Black doesnt seem to age to well it shows to many of it flaws.

It looks very nice!!

A swap to a grey interior might look better with the blue.

I think the lines and decals will look nice on there as well, they should go back on .

I like it! I just painted mine too and decided to leave the stripes and decals off for now. The paint looks too good on both of our cars to clutter it all up....
