Is that paint on your car factory? Can't be....I'm not sure. But in the 2nd picture in your sig where the light hits it, that looks really awsome, I love how the light hits it and just glows. Got any more shots?

 

Oh man, I just saw some more pics, that is an awsome color!

 

its not factory on his car. but to me it looks like factory GM SOM paint available on 4th gens SOM = Sunset Orange Metallic

 

it's funny i use to tell everybody i wanted to paint my car metallic orange, they thought i was nuts

now crazy hawaiian shows pictures of his car that he got painted metallic orange, and everybody likes it :P

 

Very awesome color!

 

Check out this orange on a first gen

 

RIGHT CLICK SAVE AS

HOLY **** THATS ONE BEATIFUL CAR/ COLOR!!!!:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

Nice, I like that

 

And Lessk, nice to see a fellow kansan on here, Im not alone anymore lol......

 

Hehe, yeah. I've noticed two others that are in Wichita also....it would be cool to hook up and race our cars around looking for victims....when I get one of course, hehehe

Also, what wheels are those Crazy?

And that orange on the 1st gen is AWWWSSSSSOOOOOMMMMEEEE!!!!!


I think I found the color I'll be painting mine, muahahaha!!!!

 

His car is 2002 GM sunset orange metallic. It is a great color, and a great car.

I believe those rims are ROH ZS if I'm not mistaken, beautiful car i always liked it

 

His car is basicaly what I was wanting to build without ever seeing his, and now that I do see it, I'm going crazy wanted to get one and start my project, hehe....I wish I made more money then I do....but then I guess we all do, hehe.

 

I am getting those wheels very soon, and I am also going to very soon be getting my car painted. I was going to paint it SOM but decided not too once I saw crazyhawiians car. I don't want to be too much of a copy cat ya know. Anyway I was going to get it painted red again, but I really want something different. I asked a while ago and how would a candy apple red look w/ some pearl in it, would it look pink. Would it look good? Any ideas for something that would look good?

Anyway yeah I LOVE crazy's car.

 

Haha, check this out, I saved his picture here as a wallpaper, cuz its awsome!



But I quickly wanted to improve it, heh, so I poped it into Paint Shop Pro and this is the result:

I got rid of the scratches in the front of the air dam and the corner, and what looked like a dent in the front above the fog lights, and I didn't like the other car in there, so I waved me magic wand and poof!



I looks much better now, worthy of my desktop!

 

I wanted to cut the car out and put it on a different background and blend it into the scene, but I didn't want to take the time.

This took me about 10 min. then another 10 for final touches zoomed in and fixing pixles.

I think it turned out all right, seeing as I havent done any image editing/creating in about a year.

 

All you Kansans! I see there are 3 just in this post. GO here:

Hey thanks guys!! I really appreciate all the comments!! The color is indeed Sunset Orange Metallic, a 2002 GM color. The cops love it too!! Hahahahah!! The wheels are ROH ZS's 17x8.5 front and 17x9.5 rear. Thanks for touching that up for me Lessk! The front got scratched by the previous owner. It is warped as well (looks like a dent like you said) from the heat. The blower makes it run @ a constant 220 degrees, one of the problems I'm working out. The rear bumper is scratched up too but you cant see it in the pic. There is also a small dent right behind the drivers side window from some punk who punched the car (before I bought it). It also has scratches on the drivers door from someone who threw an egg @ the car. The previous owner told me one of the reasons he was selling it because it was so loud his neighbors would do stuff to it to retaliate. Just goes to show that Hawaii is a pretty crazy place. So the paint has about 5 or 6 areas it needs to be touched up to be show worthy ... but I dont have any plans to fix it. Within a year the car will be completely transformed by the K1 Evo II kit, a full body fiberglass replacement. At that time I'm going to go with a completely different paint scheme since it will need a paintjob anyway. In the meantime I'll be busy fixing the engine, the drivetrain, retrofitting a 2000 T/A interior and full sounds, and redoing the suspension setup for a slammed stance. Whan all is said and done, I am aiming for an exotic looking Evo II tucking 19" wheels and 500 horses under the hood. I cant wait!!

Here's all the pics I have for now:





Wait till you guys see the 90 RS in a few months here. Its going to be almost as nice as that orange 91 z. Lates guys!!

 

Here's another:

 

NP!

Looks like you have some plans for it to be pretty unique, and one helluva engine. I'd like to see that in action when its done. I plan on having a really stout engine as well, so I'd like to hear what you've done and plan on doing. If you wouldn't mind.
