are you gonna repaint the calipers now? If not you should do an accent stripe around the black in the same color green to kinda tie it in. Something thats like 1/4 inch or something.

Sooo stole my paint idea...My S14 and my bros Z33 with the same paint would of been sexy, but NOOOO...

You did an extremely legit job for a DIY, or is that not a DIY paint job?

EDIT:This is my favorite picture so far. You see the pretty car and behind is the opposite. You see perfection and at the same time you see its humble lifestyle...Like Rags to Riches

Or maybe I am a queer. But this definitly needs to be the new sig

And the cold hearted pimpery continues!@!#!

That paint scheme rocks Ben! I almost wanna say mask your wheels and paint them that black with blue pearl like the hood stripe. But maybe the regular gloss black wheels will bring out the pearl in the car.

And I'm sure it looks much better in person, seeing as you can barely see pearl in a photo...can really see it in the hood close up though

I am not sure about the scheme, but it is really well executed.

good luck

the roof is just normal gloss lack along wit hthe mirrors. so the wheels go well with it. it still needs wet sanded and buffed to look really good but i am excited to drive it today.

Like I said on aim man, one of the best 240's out there right now. The paint just made the judges fall off their chairs. Integration with the wheel color is tyte.

I knew it was daytona! lol. Great choice with the pearl added.Awesome awesome.

Anyway, wow. Makes me wish I was allowed to use the garage again for things more than maintenance lol. I've been saving for college and my car remains the same, but I remain content with her so its all good.
