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?

MrDude_1 07-13-2003 10:17 PM

intersting color choice...

i would name the car Gumby.... remember Gumby?

yea... he was cool.

At first I thought you were talking about Gumby the tgo member. Then it dawned on me :sillylol:

You're kidding, right?

kerryismygirl89 07-13-2003 10:30 PM

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. :)

TROOPER 07-13-2003 10:34 PM

novadk13 07-13-2003 10:35 PM

looks like r i c e

85SportCoupeto89RS 07-13-2003 10:37 PM

Its an eyecatcher, theres no doubt about it. Just dont try to run from the cops :sillylol:

Abubaca 07-13-2003 10:42 PM

Ahhhhhh.....ZQ8 wheels.

VERY cool.:cool:

MrDude_1 07-13-2003 10:42 PM

and if you ever get a paint chip, you can fix it with highlighter :D


seriously though... if you wrote MtDew on the side, you could make it a soda advert... :p

Abubaca 07-13-2003 10:43 PM

not sure about the wing though...:rolleyes:

yea my partner noticed the dew thing right away. as for the wing i loved them old daytonas ans superbirds. and yea i got stoped twice already i think they thought it was a kid(or an escaped loony?) if ya disliked the outside i almost hate to shoy you the inside. by the way that orange thing behind it is my wifes 99 ss six speed camaro lowerd

HanSoloWS6 07-13-2003 10:56 PM

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.:D

[VU]Juan 07-13-2003 10:56 PM

umm.. interesting? i guess...? it's going to be a bitch trying to hide from someone, i kinda like it though, i wouldn't paint mine that color, but it's nice... :)

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:D

HanSoloWS6 07-13-2003 11:26 PM

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.

Orinackra 07-13-2003 11:44 PM

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.

MrDude_1 07-14-2003 12:09 AM

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?:p


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. :p

Jim Berry 07-14-2003 12:10 AM

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.

HamSpiced 07-14-2003 12:19 AM

im sorry i dont like it too much....

im not all about the colors, i dont mind the wing too much but it (to me) is just screaming....LOOK AT ME I NEED DENTS! or around here..SET ME ON FIRE!

Xekonaphim 07-14-2003 02:39 AM

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. ;)

Jim85IROC 07-14-2003 07:51 AM

Well, it's definately different.

bollox 07-14-2003 11:42 AM

Looks like ***.:sillylol:

kerryismygirl89 07-14-2003 11:51 AM

Love the interior. Can we get some close-ups of the dash?

Gladstoneiroc 07-14-2003 12:16 PM

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 *****.

billsfirebird 07-14-2003 01:03 PM

bout triggered a seizer when I first saw it! :D :D

Looks like totally 80's man, day glow!!

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.

TimRS 07-14-2003 01:14 PM

If Mountain Dew won't have you, go with Sprite! Looks Lemon-Lime to me.:sillylol:

USA-1 07-14-2003 02:13 PM

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?

bollox 07-14-2003 02:20 PM

What's wrong with you people I feel like i'm taking crazy pills here, :confused: since when did Neon green ever look good on any car:doh: . Don't mention the neon green murcialago cause that looks stupid too. This is me on crazy pills :lala: .

Zepher 07-14-2003 02:35 PM

I like the color scheme and the car. Looks much better than my two piles I have in my sig.

johnyIROC 07-14-2003 02:39 PM

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.

yea its an eyecatcher alright... does anyone else get that highlighter high when you see that car? all i got to say is wing=ghey... flyinlow got plenty of abuse and still does... but that wing goes right along with the rest of the pep boys performance stuff... OUT DA FRIGGIN WINDOW... The color is ok, i guess its not ric3d out or nothing... just no fart cans and or crazy carbon fiber overlays on nothing...

Trans Am#5 07-14-2003 04:56 PM

Be careful so somebody doesn't flag you down for a ride...it looks like the cabs around here!

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 :D :D
