I hope it looks better in person, than in your pictures.
I mean your work is great but the color on the deck lid looks alot lighter than the quarter panel and the rear bumper cover looks alot darker than the quarter panel.
It may just be the lighting indoors also .
Get some nice shots of it outside sometime, and post them.
I'm sure it will look great
Good Job
Leon.

The lighting did make the bumper appear a bit darker than the rest of the car. In person it doesn't look that far off, but I guess we won't really know until she's out in the light. 
As far as all of you guys complementing on my girlfriends; well they're just flattered.
Here are a few more pics that I posted right after I got the car back.

turned out really good, gas cap is kinda off but i guess it could grow on me. btw 2 fly females posing for the car? That's overkill that makes me jealous. I can only get one at a time....
A blonde woman was speeding down the road in her little red sports car and was pulled over by a woman police officer, who was also a blonde. The blonde cop asked to see the blonde speeder's driver's license.
She dug through her purse, and was getting progressively more agitated.
"What does it look like?" she finally asked. The policewoman replied, "It's square, and it has your picture on it."
The driver finally found a rectangular mirror in her purse, looked at it, and handed it to the policewoman.
"Here it is", she said.
The blonde officer looked at the mirror, then handed it back, saying, "Okay.... you can go. I didn't realize you were a cop."
Car looks nice, BTW!

The girls are not related to me.
As for the wheels, I'll keep the snowflakes on until I find something that I really like and can afford.

That T/A is so hot! It's hard to see the flames on the rear hatch because of the reflections... how was that done? and do they go all the way across the hatch? Looking good!
PS- you can start your own website with all those girls. I say if you're gonna show them off, go all the way with it!

I bought the gas cap from Auto Zone. It's specific for a Chevy truck, but after some grinding and bending, it now fits pretty well.
The flames youre seeing on the hatch are on the sub box, not the hatch itself.
