New paint for me car!!!

I just got done doin this little photoshop on my gf laptop. what do you guys think? i barrowed the picture from a member on here.

the idea's i have for my car are
91-92 z28 gfx
ascd big block hood
5'' hawks spoiler (already installed)
lowerd 2''
17 or 18'' Foose thrustar rims and tinted windows
also blue neon or led underbody kit.

thats for the outside. basiclly i used this pic becuz the car has some of the things im goin to do. the on thing i plan on doing is continuing the stripe on the hood and finishin it on the deck lid/spoiler (im doing the stripe on the hood and deck lid/spoiler only) but the stripe will be on the deck lip and then go up and over the spoiler and stop and round out about 3-4''s down the spoiler on the backside.

what do you guys think? hopefully by the end of the summer if not sooner ill have all the paint and body work done.

I say do it. I love the black Irocs with the blue decals. Its different. Don't just use any blue though, use like a metalic or chrome illusion(sp) paint. Maybe Ghost stripe?

well ive seen the ghost stripes done before. im plannin on using either a candy apple blue with silver base or a cobalt blue or maybe the blue that is on some of the newer chevy pickups.

figured id throw this idea by you guys first even though i kinda wanted to get this done first and then show u guys but this is good considering im not good at photoshop.

also the best part will be the matchin big block under the hood (496 ci) , the block will be the same color as the stripe.

anyone else?

don't make it such a light blue, make it darker.

i think with the light blue stripe it will look like a glue on

keep the cowl hood so u can have your larger air cleaner that u have. keep the stock springs in the rear and put a set of eiback sportlines up front. i kinda like the way your car looks now. but to each his own

well i dont wanna go to dark on the blue. thats why i was thinkin of the candy blue becuz i could make it light or dark by the amount of color. i just desided on that color in photoshop becuz it looked ok.

and as far as the stance of the car i like the raked look but im gettin very bored with the look of my car. thats why this major overhaulin is goin to be done. plus i want something that is differnt then others.

you're just going to do a stripe on part of the hood and that's it? not so sure I like that.

if you read my posts i clearly state that im doing it on the hood and deck lid/spoiler . here u go

"the on thing i plan on doing is continuing the stripe on the hood and finishin it on the deck lid/spoiler (im doing the stripe on the hood and deck lid/spoiler only) but the stripe will be on the deck lip and then go up and over the spoiler and stop and round out about 3-4''s down the spoiler on the backside.
