Looks great! The HOK Kandy paints are nice - I used Kandy Teal on my 1992 RS and I love it! Just wish I had a garage to protect it - but I guess nothing lasts forever.

Car looks DAMN good man, awesome Job! If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the rims? I have been looking at those Booze wheels for a long time and want a set for my GTA extremely badly. They look amazing on your car!

Re: Car finally done, pictures
I sent the Mufflex exhaust system to Jet Hot, and bought the headers from them already Jet coated inside and out. So my whole exhaust is Jet Hot coated inside and out.
