Yeah I wanted to go with a marble look but I wasn't real sure that it would turn out. You guys seem to like it so far.

They have had the car for 3 months but have not been working on it the whole time. They had some other stuff going on so I was like just work on it when you can. So they really have only spent about three weeks on the car. It was supposed to be done by last weekends NOPI Racewars DC\MD\VA show but didn't make it. So I am hoping to have it back by next Friday and get it down to the NOPI show in Dinwiddie VA.

Pimp. You should add a line of different color right where the 2 paint meets. Like a red line or something, so it doesn't look too contrasting. But overall good job. I am doing a black marble scheme myself for my trunk audio.

Normally I wouldnt post something negative....but since you asked for opinions.....Im not feeling it at all...I dont like the two tone, and I dont like the marble look at all. I think it takes everything away from the class of car that we are driving. You can have a stand out show car without going too far off the wall with the paint scheme....maybe a candy color or something of that affect. But its your car bro, as long as you like it thats all that matters.

i think he means nice. st-st-stutter.

Can i ask where you got those lambos?

Very nice work. IMO not me, but i can appreciate the work. I would do a more classic hot rod style two tone if it was me, i.e. 2 simple colors.

I would like it better if the top wasnt marble. I wouldnt do a 2 tone on the gs because I dont think it will look good but we will see when the final product comes out. It will definately attract attention at the shows, but personally I would have repainted it black and have them sand the car until it was incredibly smooth.

I'm with J on this one. It's not my style but looks good for the show circuit.
