Wow looks great on a 240, I never would have figured it for a domestic color. How much did that cost you, if you don't mind me asking?

yeah...i started to look at colors and i went thru all the chip charts and i narrowed it down to this ford color (used on ford festivas if you can believe it) or viper red from dodge...but i liked this color better...since i was looking for a very glossy and bright type red..

one of our race series sponsors did it for me $1300cdn...about 850-900us funds

i installed all the body kit my self so that helped...

Looking good Adam, much better then before if I may say so. I still think you should lose the wing though.

Wow, I was qouted over $1500US to change my car to ANY other color, and they told me red paint would be $100 per quart and up. I know you said one of the race sponsors did it, but still sounds like I better keep shopping around. You car looks great.

He obviously doesn't know what you do Adam ;) Everything on your car is wonderfully functional. Looks good bro.

that's a great deal what mine will look like after i get it painted. Kinda weird, although i went with a different Bomex front.

I don't like the front end, but the rest looks good. Even the wing suits the car.

i had made it awhile ago(veilside) when i was obsessed with that kit, but i think it doesn't flow with the lines of the car well enugh now. Now i just don't feel like remembering another name=)

I expected someone to catch that...hehe

A good full paint job would cost at the LEAST 2000 bucks.

not a big fan of sticking a vent or flare anywhere where one bolts on. Especially if you just stick them on with 3M tape or sheet metal screws and don't mold anything. the wing is ludicrous, the hood vents look non functional, and tests have shown that putting washers under the rear of the hood just makes it look ghetto and doesn't actually aid in cooling.Why mount those fender flares on if you don't even have enough wheel to fill up the stock openings?
