I've seen the car around many times, it used to be just straight matte black which looked fine to me. but the gloss black stripes just dont look right on it, also, the guy kept the stock wheels and just got like matte black spray paint, you can see it starting to flake off

Looks damn sexy! I almost have my matte black boss stripes ready to go, have them all drawn out on the vinyl cutter computer, just waiting for my matte black case vinyl to get here.

Thanks guys. I'm real happy with the way everything turned out. Now I'm officially done with the exterior and get to save for a turbo down the line along with a built motor.

No I had the guy who does installs for dealerships around the area do it for me. I took notes and saw him do the whole thing. I would have done it myself but the hood was the hard part with all the curves. He had to cut a few strips and fit them together at the nose and rear. If I had a stock hood it would have been a lot easier to do

LOVE the stripes! Not a huge fan of the black wheels, but overall the car looks awesome. I want to put SS stripes on mine once I get a new hood.
