saved em to my photobucket^
If i painted my car, this is how I would want it done, It would be silver with orange layed over it, and the black would probobly have some sort of orange pearl in it. I think it would look badass. I have a highrise and a chopped wingless pic of it. What do you think?



^last one has no pin stripe.
And heres green:

and Blue:

I think those would look hot on any SS/TC

ill put any amount of money that theres no way she could have sanded that flat.... but then again someone probblly wanted to look and didnt wanna pay for a complete. you figure by the time you get base and clear on there, there will be a good size line. cobalt clear is not thick what so ever so i doubt it was sanded out.
oh gestapoo who did your eyelids. those are the nicest ive seen

I had a Vinyl shop do them, i drew them out and showed him how I wanted them and he cut the vinyl around it. Goes down the hood and over the light. Then we put yellow around the eyelid to break it up a bit. Then i scuffed the vinyl and sprayed some clear with gold pearl in it to match the rims and spoiler lol

took everything else off because its just the right way to do it, lip not so much as it wont be seen under the lip. looking at the car even up close you cant even tell lip was off or repainted for that matter to me it looks 1000000 times cleaner with no plate and after 2 years of persuading me to paint the edges of the hood im glad i did. an older hot rod guy was complimenting me the other day at the dealership ( he was buying a new vette must be nice ) and asked if the car came factory looking like that. he liked it. which in turn made me smile from ear to ear
i like the orange. that would look hot

P.S. I really do hope it doesn't peel and looks great you did your hood similar how to I wanna do mine.

07Metallic, that **** looks SOOOOO good. Holy christ. Good pics. That clear looks amazing. And i much prefer the blue edges over the all carbon fiber. Makes it look like that hood belongs on your car

cant see it in those pics but my hood was fading BAD in spots, mostly over the blower, my buddy spent some time on it and man i wish i had a real nice camera to catch the cf now, it almost POPs out at you. it looks nice. he does good work. the shop i had it at mostly works on exotics and hot rods.
thats also why im not too worried about the lip not coming off the car. and the work is guaranteed for as long as i own the vehicle.
your right gestapo it does make it look like it belongs on the car, only thing is when i go to sell it on here ,one day hopefully years from now, itll be hard to get rid of because of that i think. maybe not idk.
