That is the color the car came with from the factory and personaly i like and aint that what matters being the care is mine

I'm not dissin it man just saying I would have gone a different direction. What happened to the color schemes from above in here?

[Ngige]

i know your not dissing my paint, but its hard to make all happy i like it abd you dont, no harm done, besides Seen to many with the two tone third gens, so i guess i just wanted it to look like it did when it came off the assembly line except the wheels. and again i did say nothing was set in stone. Anywho thanks

Fair enough. Nice find on the second one too, are you going to put the stock interior back in? I know its a resto but damn that stuff is ugly.
