He probably got them from jc whitney,lol,they dont look too bad,but i will take the 92 rs ground effects before them,i love the paint job on that car,its nice to look at and i am sure cost quite a bundl,but i would be scared to aprk it becasue some jealous idiot might key it,its so common these days,my friends new s-10,a new explorer,and a bmw got keyed all in a week or 2,they are all 2001 models,that has to suck.

I have never see them before either. The paint it a little crazy. I think it is that mystic stuff or maybe the Dupont spin-off of it. I can appreciate it but it doesn't really turn my crank. I can't put my finger on it but there is something that just looks weird about the car.

I just found it......The shaved panels! I have never seen one with that done to it. I always wondered what it would look like. I like it!

I think the paint makes the car look like it ot warped. Or maybe it's just the picture.

Part of the front spoiler that's in front of the front tire looks to be off a 70's TA.

That paint looks horrible.

I think its ugly. The front ground effect is really bad and the paint is terrible. If you want one of those color changing paint job, why get purple and green? That seems to be the only color I've seen. Don't they make other combinations?

Well just for clarification Thats blue base paint with pink peral clearcoat. all the lowrider around here are doing that pink peral looks like crap to me although i did see a ram air 99 trans am with a green/pink it looded kinda nice but i dont much care for the pink.

the car does look sort of funny.. cant tell what it is. yes, other paint combo's are made. i talked to a guy the other night who had a white 87 Z28, and at certain angles it turned a redish/purple color, alot more subtle than that. they can mix that kind of paint at napa, btw.

yeah EVILFACE, it looks like they tried to make the front GFX like a second gen, i was waiting for somebody to point that out.

Irridescent Chameleon paint would look excellent if it would change from green to blue rather than purple to green

I thought that about the 2nd gen TA style piece too. Don't really like the colors either.

I was thinking about filling in the space in between the fenders and nose piece and all that too, but what if I got in a wreck after I did it? Think if it was bondo you could break it all off and start over?
