Sorry for the quick crappy pics, sun is direct overhead and washes out alot of the color cause this thing is in your face red!  Bodywork was fixed and painted viper red with flat black side louvers and stripe, decided to color match bumpers, mirors and door handles.  It looks like red glass in person, hopefully I can keep it looking this way.  What do you think?  Will try to get better pics when light is better.

Love the painted bumpers.  Are you going to install a Go Wing?  I think that would look good! :Twocents:

looks great! but my honest opinion is the stripe should be a bit wider. i wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers though...  :2thumbs:

Gorgeous!  I'm glad you kept it red - the color really works well on your car.

Looks awesome!  I love the look of the bright red with the black wheels, blacked out grill and blace stripe!   :drool5:
I also agree with 41husk...a Go Wing would make that think look even sweeter.   :2thumbs:

I have done all mechanical, suspension and interior work but body and paint is when I have to back away and let someone that knows how do it handle it

Considered it but didn't want the stripe to overpower the car too much

 Yeah, i copy that..  :scratchchin: i seem to remember when you were planning it with a photoshop or some such, some folks (possibly me incl.  :eek2: ) said at that time the stripe was "too wide"...  :lol:
still it looks great as it came out and I'm sure we'd all like to see alot more pictures.  :yesnod:
