I apologize ahead for loading 4 pics but i figured people were going to question this i had the firebird emblems off and had the decal place do up these to replace them i figured i wanted it to be different and custom seeing as how thats how most of the car is. Plus they caharge by the square foot so the more on the decal the less money i wasted. 20$$ for two of em 10X1" they look real nice again bad pics

It's steel alloy metallic its alot lighter then the stock grey i didnt know how it would look at first but i like it. Like i said the pics do it no justice it is extremely shiny has a real deep look to it with alot of flake

Heres one of the hood not sure how good this is but you get a litlle better idea of the shine

Nice color, I bet its fun to try to get the car to move on the ice though. I say the TT II's imo.

From the rules

If you are going to post more than three pictures of something, please upload them to your own webspace. We often get threads where members believe that posting 15 images is no problem. This slows the boards down dramatically, especially for those on dial-up connection. Cardomain.com is a good place to upload them, and I believe they allow hotlinking images. If you attach more than three images, all of them will be deleted except for the first three. So to clarify, you may post as many images as you would like, as long as they aren’t attached to the thread, but hotlinked from your own webspace.
I'm pretty sure I remember you having a cardomain site.

New paint looks good though, but I really don't like the emblem.

I'm still waiting on engine shots..

Yea i've seen the rules sorry i just got going and forgot. My apologize. There aren't any flaws in the paint at all its probaly the pics and the cover isnt sunk its a perfectly straight body. In fact they said when they got the body stripped to metal they couldnt believe they didn't find a single bubble of rust, shes solid. Like i said earlier i'm back on here for the Appearance and detailing and stereo forums i'm not even going into the whole thing with the motor. I did get a new torque converter and redid the posi in the rear and the car is now running consistent 14.8's-15.00's out here at pmi. The track sucks and i'm sorry i refuse to pay the 3$$ they want for a time slip

Thanks for the feedback guys it is awesome i had to show you guys. Again sorry bout the picture thing mods i'm going to get all the pics on my cardomain site this week. Then i'll post a link with all the pics

You seem to have a lot of pictures of the paint. Why not just open the hood and take a quick picture? Unless you have something to hide?
