I think that the paint looks great. The close up pic of the metallic looks right on! They did a good job laying it.

It's definately weird though to see your username with a grey notchback in the thread...haha...because I'm so used to seeing it blue!!! But it looks awesome grey, I like it!

Do you plan on getting some chrome wheels in the future? I think with the new paint, a set of Chrome Pony R's would look beautiful!

I am planning on getting some new wheels, but I was actually leaning to a set of black bullitts or FR500's. Although a set of Chrome wheels had crossed my mind, I'm not entirely sold yet. I have time to think though because I plan on doing it along with a 5 lug, and I dont have an extra 2500 laying around right now. This just cost me almost 7 grand (including a few parts and shipping (suck my nuts UPS!)).

And yes, its really weird seeing it gray. I LOVE the color, but I'm waiting to wash it and have it all rinse away. This is by far the coolest thing you can do to customize a car. I really enjoyed the Regatta Blue, but I would have always wished I had painted it, so now I'm super happy.

Thanks dude, I'm eager to see what your little lx is going to look like. Did you decide on a paint color yet?

Oh, and for anyone that doesnt already have them...get Subframe Connectors. That should be the first thing everyone should do to their cars. Amazing difference.

Yeah, I was planning on getting the runs and stuff fixed here asap, but hes finished for the weekend and hes busy next week so it looks like it goes in on the 21st to get all touched up. So knowing that, I'll be washing it up today, and when the sun goes down a bit, I'll go out and take some pictures.

Car looks real good but I do have one question...

It might be me, but the passenger side fender and door dont appear to match perfect. The door back appears darker. Might just be me, but all 3 of the photos I notice it.

Other than that it looks real good, and with the right wheels would look amazing!

No, I even just ran out and had a look haha. The shop said that the Dark Shadow gray had some pearl in it, so thats just the way it looks in the photo. Not to mention the angle it was taken at and the time of day. But good observation, I see what you're talkin about.

I'm about to post up a new thread with some washed pictures and stuff, you can take a look at it from different angles and it should change your opinion.

Whatever dude, you have the sickest car on this website. Period. I like my car though, its a long way from done, but I enjoy the hobby and the car. I wanted it to be different, so I liked gray, the cobra grill on an lx, shaved the emblems, etc. I just have to find the right wheel/tire combo and fix up the interior - which is next on the list.
