ha thanks...yea i've been looking at tinted tail lights, apparently we need to get a harness from a gt or mach 1 in order for it to work ? I'm gonna order them thursday, i'm sure i can splice it in somehow..i'm def gonna keep the wheels chrome don't want too much black..now i gotta figure out if i'm gonna go with chrome inserts or black for the rear...i'm leaning towards chrome

Another option for you is put limo tint on your normal taillights, which is what I did, I think it looks good.

Very nice job on the paint.
Could you post a hi-rez close up showing he amount of flake and pearl you mixed in?
And did all the pearl go in the base coat. Or did you add a little (or a lot) to the middle coat of clear?

yea originally it was white with parchment top, the only reason i switched the colors is bc the original paint was showing it's age, also we just opened up a shop and i'm gonna bring it to shows and what not, try to get our name out there more. I'll try and get more pics today

Looks good. I like the color but I wouldn't trade it from my white.

Now there's only 137 possible white with parchment left......

So did you have to swap out the interior also? Doesn't a white with parchment top car come with a parchment interior?
