And another in not so direct sunlight...
As you can see it's more of a reddish color, the words actually translate to "magic red mica" in english. But, it looks really freakin awesome in the right light. The GTO orange is more subtle and classy. Either one is awesome, just depends on what you're looking for...

yeah it looks like that lambo orange is much more red. but it also looks like it has alot of mettalic in it (picture quality maybe).
They both look real nice. i think itll come down to price also...

No problem at all. I think you will be happy with GTO, especially if you go with a two tone paint, but even a single color will look really nice. If you take some extra cash ($200-$300) to the body shop, you can have them add whatever pearl you want to the clear and give it some extra flavor, maybe add some small metal and some flop too.

Jeckyll & Hyde is the perfect name for comparing the old and new looks. I think you should keep the stock tail light look. With the tinted rear window, you need the contrast of the tail lights in there. My personal opinion is that a custom car needs to retain small pieces of the stock look in there. When they're all custom, they stop being F-bodies.
Make sure to take before and after interior shots.
