Must say i love the color. what rims are you going with on it? or will you leave them stock?

that's a gorgeous color, if I weren't going so green it looks black that'd be my second choice

Yes, rims will come once it gets up and running. I'm not sure which yet.

Something similar or along the lines of these:

Volk GT-S


Work Emotion CR-Kai


Gram Light 57S -silver



I'll stop at a wheel warehouse down the street from me and hold a few of them up to the car to see what they'll actually look like.

You have made my choice of color for my Regal! What brand of paint was used?

I knew gunmetal, but that one looks so much better!

Hey, P75 called my house and informed me of this thread and your decision.

He seemed upset.

P75 is still sitting the driveway. :)

Looks great. Finally someone did carbon grey! Should have thrown in some blue pearl though, that would have really set it off!

I've been working late and this week its been 95+ degrees and 90% humidity. I'll take some pics tomorrow.

-Megasquirt is in; havent set up the software
-Innovate LC-1 wideband is in
-Intercooler pipes have been painted and mostly installed. leakdown testing tomorrow. All t-bolt clamped
-Hahn's crane ignition w/ boost controlled retard. also custom coolant resevoir from their car
-new MSD coil pack and spark plug wires
-6an SS fuel lines all around
-welded 6an fittings on fuel rail
-aeromotive 1:1 FPR
-wired radiator fans together
-and lots more....

I'll try to start it tomorrow night. I need to read more about megasquirt. PM me w/ initial megasquirt setup tips if you want to help. I'm running 440cc green top injectors to start off.

may not be paint related but after paint you have to put it all back together!

looks real good- i love the color

Great choice in color!! Car looks like it will be pretty amazing once you finish it. 97-99 Turbo wing FTW IMO. Get the Work wheels, I think that they would look better than the Volks.

Keep us updated.

Speaking of blue pearl.....

I went to the gas station for the first time tonight and saw the car under flourecent light. BLUE.

Looks hot. I need to get some more pics in different light.

Not to hijack your color but I think I found mine for when i get the money to repaint. I may add the blue pearl though.:)

Looks good man,but Like those other guys said CF hood, hatch, and turbo wing FTW.I think a RMDSM lip would really set it off.Id vote it for cleanest DSM evar.
