Re: P**S OF YOUR RED OR BLA*K TH*RD GENS!!!
black is imposable to keep clean. schultzy's car always looks good to me, even when he says it's dirty. my car always looks like it needs to be washed. even when i just washed it.
by the way that hood has a nickname in the crew. "big a** hood". we have actually all started referring to the entire car that way. as in "hey mike are you bringing the big a** hood, or driving the honda?"
EDIT* language filter putg about 20 astricks in my post?!

IROCThe5.7L, your paint is SO deep. I love it. It's what my car use to look like stock. 
Some days I want to get a stock hood and spoiler and just run the stock look but then...

Re: PICS OF YOUR RED OR BLACK THIRD GENS!!!
So, have you made a decision yet is it going to be red or black?
I'm partial to red, but i could be biased considering my baby is red.
I believe you have heard the pros and cons of each color, any decision, let us know.
Of course you may have told us allready considering the length of this thread, I may have missed it, lol.
Here's a couple new pics to sway your decision, if you haven't made it allready!!

Re: PICS OF YOUR RED OR BLACK THIRD GENS!!!
i was gonna get it painted black until i heard that it would look crappy since it's already got a lot of body work put into it. what a bummer. but i went with RED instead!

Re: PICS OF YOUR RED OR BLACK THIRD GENS!!!
I already have the Eibach Pro Kit on it and was gonna switch to the sportline, but now I am swapping everything over to my white 92Z including the wheels, and I am gonna do a black & white scheme with the car.
