I think the Bright green 3gs in Japan pulls off this colour nicely because he is running deep dish black rims with a full bumper replacment kit and it absolutely decked on the floor, whilst yours is the opposite.

The paint job quality looks excellent though, at least you had the guts to attempt something different state side though.
The grill is a carson grill and I plan on adding air in the future in the next couple of months. Plus I am still looking for wheels to replace my TSW. The job design kit he has would be on my car but it take 3 month to get one and I really did'nt want it, and this my car not someone in Japan. The door strips were the color of the car that why they got painted. It seems to me you always have something to say about everyone else car on here, but we never see your car posted up right lol.

if you park close the lazy people get to hit your car. lol all though you are right whenever i park far(everytime) 20% of the time ill come out to find a car right next to mine.luckily its usually a high end car. if you park close you should already know you will be hit. i will look on my computer and see if i find a pic of my car after i had it candied.

Thanks I know people are going to hate and I jsut don't see why some A**hole has to make some dumb comment about I should have done my car. If you don't like it then fine you do'nt like it, If you do then great or want to share some ideas cool. Don't be a A**hole just BC you are one. That why I called him out.

I like it. Different and bold. Is that the Carson kit? I'm not really feeling the front end for some reason. Try changing out the front grill and pasti dip the headlight surrounds black.

In not feeling that at all pastic dip is not my thing and i wanted something different not what everyone else has. The point was to be different.

You know what? I normally hate seeing such luxury cars done up this way; i think donk when i see a gs in any candy color.

But this... this is NICE! I like it a lot. They're would be a couple of thing's i'd change. Like the headlight surrounds, but overall well done!

Also, with new wheels with more lip this will be bomb!

thanks for the compliments the only reason I painted the headlight surounds were they were peeling the chrome was coming off and all chipped up. trying to get some work wheels and a air runner set up or some vossen wheels, but with xmas around the corner and just paying for the paint job car funds are a little low. I have big plans for next year and will keep everyone updated on the progress. Oh and it not candy it a factory OEM color.
