Looks completely bad ass.  You will have one of the sweetest/most unique paint jobs on the forums.

I agree with whoever said they were expecting burgandy.  In my minds eye I was expecting a maroon/burgandy...but nice choice on the colors and two tone!

As for the burgundy, I figured I already had a burgundy bird and I wanted something that really stood out.  I think I accomplished it!

Very bold choice on the paint It is going to look good, I think. The wheels really make it happen.

I haven't checked your thread in a little while.  It's been great to follow, but the paint and scheme are impressive.  Wow!

I just peed a little............

The blue is awesome.  Custom mix or paint code?
My car is a gravity hybrid.  The gasoline engine gets me up the hills, and gravity gets me down.

Dont know the paint code right off hand.  It was a color we had matched to a truck we built at work.

yep, but the grille is off the header I had.  Thought it flowed better.
