I like it. I have been thinking of painting the top of my SSM black. I originally wanted to just do the pillars, but the body lines wouldn't work well with that idea. I have considered painting as much as you did, but wasn't sure how it would look. Now I know.

Rhianna you like it because its 2 toned just like yours!!! but I will admit I like it... You should get some eyelids for your headlights that are th same color as the top... that would look awesome.

only reason why it was that much i had to buy the clear--- i paid my dads painter 150 to paint it on his own time an I would get it ready for paint an mask it all off so all he did was come in an spray it--
about the coilovers yea take the rim off the adjust them-- i still have a few Ideas-- i am thinking about the carbon fiber body kit but my dad said once you hit it it is messed up hard to fix--
i have a bunch of Ideas what I want to do to my car i just have to have time to go to Oregon-- i dont have a shop here in cali-- so I am limited to things-- I dont want to pay out the ___ for something when I can get it done for nothing---

Eyelids would go nicely with the "flow" of the car!!
Cobraguy, you're lucky that you have your own shop and equipment to paint your car...right now I am having some issues w/ my front bumper (rock chips, scratches, scraps, that sort of thing) and I wish I could just save myself some money and paint it myself....plus since you're doing it yourself you can make sure everything is done right...good luck and post up some more pictures!!!
