Thats an unique color. But not a color I would use on my car. I would loose the wing, quickly.
If I may ask, what inspired you to paint it that color?

Wow, that car is awesome. Yeah, loose the wing, though.
The car looks like some lemon-lime soda advertisement. Does it glow in the dark?

Seriously though, I like it.

WOW, where's the volume control on that thing cause it sure is loud, lol. Interesting colors. Not my cup of tea though. Maybe on a minitruck or a compact. But if you like it, thats all that matters I guess.

45 your age?

If you were younger I might think you were stupid, but you obviously just wanted something different, and you succeded.

I thought it was a joke at first, but damn, it has kinda grown on me. I dunno it is really flashy and stuff. I guess it totaly succedes in drawing in customers, like you want it to.

All in all, very unique.. and it works

heh... I dont love, and I dont hate, but I still had something to say.

In the end it is still a thirdgen and their aint nothing wron with that

Actually, I got to looking at it and it looks like a color they use on the IROC race cars or some other form of a race car like in drag or circle track.

Wow, you definately get an A for originality. I kinda dig the paint, looks cool. But I'm not a fan of the spoiler or all the crazyness going on inside the car.

ok, i have to make another joke...

is the interior lined with tennisball fur, or did you just take a ball there and have them match some paint?


seriously though, from the first pic, i wondered if it was a really great photoshop..... after the 2nd pic though, heh, i know its real


im sure you draw alot of attention.


you know, painting it orange or yellow would have drawn the same attention without resorting to neon.

Definately a standout in a crowd. You probably need sunglasses just to get in that.

I like the colors, but the consensus has you loosing the wing.

Midnight Sun, you live in Mill Creek? I just left there in 2002. Lived in the apartments by the Country Club.

Liked the amount of hot rods up there, just can't stand the rain and the month and a half of summer.

Wow, I like it truthfully, Dont care much for the wing though but thats just me, I think Black instead of Yellow would give it more contrast.

Looks sweet. I don't think I would own it, but its a flashy car. How did you do the interior? Spray paint? Sell the wing to a teenage *****.

Hey I like the idea of the wheels. Got those off the new s-10 right?



Interesting color choice and I think you need more of a welders shield than sunglasses.

Dude, you know that car is screaming for a set of yellow Sparco's or something. I think you need to go further with the interior. Go all out dude. If I may, I think black rims would look better. Anyone want to photoshop some black rims on that ride?

Can we get some close ups of the ZQ8 wheels? I've wanted to see them on an Fbody for a long time. I think you are the first one.

Jim! I think that's the nicest response you've had to a car with a paint job or body modification that was questionable to why they did it! Good job pal! JK
