Ahhhhh...fresh paint

After a month of missing her, she finally got to come home yesterday. I still need a nose emblem, stripes, decals and such but that's what e-bay is for, right? Just wanted to show her new colors off....let me know what you all think.

What it looks like from someone's rear view. Not commonly viewed that way.

Yep, someone who owned the car before me decided that 4 matching rims just wasn't their style. I just got a replacement for that newer one today; I'll get that on tonight.

Oh yeah, there are few things sexier in this world than a freshly painted black 3rd Gen...unless, of course, you had Nicole Kidman, Tara Reid, & Catherina Zeta-Jones in the passenger seats. I think that would have to rank.

Sorry, dude. I wouldn't give any of them even a passing thought in comparison to that IROC. I should've held out for a black one, but I bought a bright blue metallic (98U) '89 instead. I'm still cool, tho

It briefly crossed my mind to do a color change to black since I'm completely restoring the car anyway but the 98U has grown on me, so I think I'll keep it

I'm a fan of the blue metallic myself. Tell ya what, if you're ever around my way, drop in. We'll swap ROCs for a couple laps around town. What say?
