    That looks great C!!!

    I hope you have the time to get out and about with her this weekend, people are going to flip when they see that!!

    I would maybe look at lowering the ride height a little and definitely look at a color change on the rims. But for now it looks excellent.

    When you bringing it up these ways next? I would love to see it in person. :)

    I like it. If it were me, I would have left it blue but it looks really cool.

    yeah, darker wheels might be the next thing. definitely not lower though. i've read about people lowering 430s - it really surprises me, because I have a hard enough time at the moment getting in and out of driveways without scraping the nose!

    they've done a great job. of course, it's nowhere near as good as a paint job - you just have to look inside the air intakes or closely at the wing mirror hinges. but the good thing is, the original colour was dark, so it's not so noticable.

    yes, they said their work was fully guaranteed. if i have to spend a few hundred dollars a year on maintaining it, i'd be happy with that. stone chips on a normal paint job would cost more ...

    I was surprised by how much I liked the look. i guess if you do this you have to accept that there will be flaws if you look close enough. but the benefits (1. reversible, and 2. lower cost than a repaint) were worth it, in my opinion.

    Man, it looks awesome.

    It actually inspired me to search out a solution for my car.

    although finding anyone good on the GC is difficult, i do have a lead which i can pursue next week.

    im a little scared of the quote though

    Looking great :D

    Some shades of black hide car lines but this flat/matte colour seems to show them even better!

    Agree with everyone else about darker rims!

    Congrats :D

    have spoken to a couple companies in the GC, all of which have said theres nobody in the GC who has the skill to do it (properly), but have been told about someone in Brizzy thats good.

    but i may just call him to have a chat and see what sort of $ he's throwing around. but my car will be off the road for a while yet anyway.

    Matt Black will not get boring as quick as camouflage, but camo does look awesome. so will see, if the $$$ are too high i cant honestly warrant it.
