Well, I've decided on Dupli - Color T90, which is a dark grey metallic (almost black). Just finished polising the outer rims, will be painting the next day or so, then new tires on Wed. The bird will be back from the paint shop on Tues., cant wait to see her.... Will post pics when she comes home......

not saying it hasn't been done, that just looks fakes is all.
The car looks really flat, and there is some imperfections in the lighting in the rear.

I can also confirm that the car is real as TAdan said. It was at the TA Nats a few years ago. I took some pics of it at the time as it was so unusual.

Never said it wasn't, just saying the pic looks kind of like it.
Also this makes me wonder why?
however thats off topic.
Red rims on a red car never looked quite right to me, i think the color you mentioned you got will look good.

His car. His money. 'Nuff said. I personally don't like it, but at least it isn't badly done... I betcha he has a lot more rear hatch cargo spece then any of us do, except the station wagon hatch they made one or two of... Now that would be neat, put a stretched station wagon hatch cover on that stretched GTA, and I'd even want to drive it once or twice, just for the stare-factor! I betcha he has no traction issues, either. I just hope he has enough motor to back it up. I wonder if the rear wheels are live-axle or just for show... Anyone know for certain?
But if you were to get a picture, could you pixel out my face...?
Black looks pretty good, I'd leave them alone, but it's all up to you. I could go with red, but that looks like the RS thing Chevy did, and well, it's been done.

Black is a great color for a red formula.
I've got the ARE 2 piece GTA looking wheels with street tires for my red 88 Formula,

a shot in motion,

Also, lowering the car a bit should make it have a really nice stance.
