Nice work, CDY! Thanks! I think I'm going to give that look a shot first. If I don't like it it will be easier to black out the top later vs trying to turn it red again.

that's nice. the dark smoke goes really well with your car instead of the complete blackout. now do your headlights!

As someone mentioned before about liking smoke better than blackout. I knew I could always go darker so that is the nice thing about the niteshades paint. You can keep applying coats until the look is exactly what you want.

Thanks. I know some do not like the "fake" carbon fiber, but I thought it went well with the gunmetal trim pieces and anything looked better than my scratch/faded plastic pieces. I think it gives a more updated look for the older SC's.

Ive never really liked the wood either, and I think I'm about to steal your idea on the interior, very nice SoarinHigh.
