I put the saleen side skirts on, the ABC Exclusive front bumper with cobra lip, a Kaenen S281 spoiler. They body matched the cowl vent cover, mirrors, and the aluminum gas door. I am going to paint the radiator cover with true fire just like the exterior.

front pictures

There are from when we were wet sanding, so it is dirty, but you should get the idea. I will get better pictures once it stops raining/snowing here in Wisconsin.

Great Looking car.
When I first looked at the picture, I wasn't too sure about the color combination, but the more I look, the more I like.

Yeah, I am ready for the stupid snow to stop here too. Sunday I was out watching an autocross event and got a little sunburn.
Monday I woke up and had almost 2 inches of snow on my truck.

Thanks Guys...

Yes, its still snowing in Wisconsin. I mowed my yard on Sunday...it was covered in snow on Monday (but it melted off at least)

I will post up some interior shots once I get off of work.

I wasn't totally sure of the color combo when I first thought of it, but they shot me a test panel and it just worked. The sonic blue has a bunch of pearl in it, so it changes colors from a green to almost a purple and looks likes its moving as you walk around the car.

Wet Sanding - I'll have to check and see what I was using....I think it was around 1800 to 2000...

Car looks bad ass . I've been contemplating what to do with mine, not much goes with DF green. I love those wheels, where did you purchase yours from? I have 3 of the same sitting in my garage from Cruzin Concepts that fit, the forth, no way. Been waiting +10 weeks for them to send the correct wheel. If I can find another dealer I'll buy it. Or how about a part number for the front if you got it, I have 18x9's?

Sorry, about the short wheel rant- Any chance I can get to get the word out about them I will. Trying to save you all the any headaches.

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out a paint scheme for about 3 years, but as you said, not much works with DFG. This was actually a shot in the dark, and I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out. Never would I have imagined sonic blue would go with DFG.

I got my Boyd smoothie IIs from Discount Tire Direct. I had an issue just like yours...they sent me 3 ford bolt pattern wheels, and a chevy pattern. I was seriously pissed. It took me 5 weeks to get the right one.

Which wheel of yours is screwed up? I have a pair of rear wheels (18x10 I think) and a single 18x9. I don't know of the offsets off the top of my head though. I bought them off of ebay for cheap a couple years ago (to have a spare incase something happened to these). Shoot me a PM and I'll see if your set matches mine.
