Pic of my new paint

Heres the new paint on my 90 305 TBI Formula:

Its the stock dark red metallica color... this is after 2 screw ups and lots of headaches... (first time around I used a gold pearl and the color turned copper/orange) (Wish I had pics of that color too)


let me know what you guys think... next up is either the baseline camaro/firebird hatch with no spoiler or I will spend the $455 for the GTA spoiler that was stock. I also am ordering the Trans Am Cross Laced Wheels in black.

Hopefully in the winter I can drop in a nice 350!

nice car. Good job on the paint.

Check out hawks and gt auto up top for a 4th gen wing. I think they look cool. I think you could find better rims than the gm's, but they look good also.

keep up the good work.

I like the no spoiler look. Especially on a lowered car, and from the front.
I'd say spend the money on a set of Eibachs, or Intrax, or whatever, and go without a spoiler.
Just my opinion.

Looks nice, I like the "dark red metallica" color

Looks good without the spoiler too, just lower it- but first crop the pic

Thanks guys...appreciate the comments... I have been wanting to go without the spoiler for quite some time but get mixed comments.. I think I'm going to try it any how as I can always drill holes later and go to whichever spoiler I want. (after changing the hatch to the baseline w/o spoiler at least)

I'll try and get the pics cropped a little better next time too!
