Very nice color choice.

On a side note, I've never really seen a full on side pic of your car until now. After seeing it, I noticed your skirts seem to hang alot lower then your bumpers.

Have you ever thought of getting side skirts that don't hang so low? I think some mopar, srt, or rt sides would compliment your ride very well.

Or you could go the other direction, and get a CF lip for the bottom of your front bumper, and keep the sides you have.

Anyway, just some food for thought is all.

Brad: yes, its a diffferent color now, its slightly lighter than it was before, more different colored pearls. I love the new color, so much more than my old one. has more 'character' i guess.

here is the only "full on sun" Pic that i have of the new color so far. Pollen is really bad so Im holding off on really good pics for a couple of weeks, once it goes away

sully: The sideskirts are a bit lower, but it flows for me in some odd way. I would get different skirts, but i like these and they are fully molded. the molds would have to be ripped out to do that, and I would have to get the car painted all over again. I didnt pay much for it this time, but still I dotn want to pay it again for a while :lol:

the car looks awesome, I really like the color. What was wrong with the old color or was it just time for a change?

There were a couple of just daily driven blemishes..and now that i have a daily to drive, I wanted to get all the touch ups done and keep it for the weekends and nice weather. With that color, for whatever reason, I guess because of the pearls and metallics...its never the same when you remix it. We have gotten almost perfectly close, the last few touch ups. but this time, we purposely lightened the color and saved the weights on a computer just in case. I love the new color so much better than the darker one :D

how much you pay? thinking of getting mine repainted, too many scratches :evil:

who me? This time it was only $700, but I get major hookups there. Usually a paint job like that from them runs about $2500 or more depending on the things they do (shaving door handles, skirtts, etc.)

Nice car Floyd. But I want something a little meaner looking. Four choices that I have are the kaminari turbo style kit, buddy club 2 kit, R34 skyline kit, evo3 kit.

Buddy club 2 :) that is my next personal fave...plus i think the sideskirts are even w/ the bumpers w/ that kit
