Pres, the lighting and iPhone pic makes it look much lighter. There is a very very slight difference in the color (I think) and that's due to the waterbourne paint used on the bumper.

Interesting thought on FG -> chrome look. I'm not an expert, but I think a 'chrome' wrap is the easiest way to get there. Can you powdercoat FG? If so, there's some nice polished aluminum finishes that sorta come close. Not perfect for sure, but I'm guessing you're not building a show car. If it were metal you'd have alot more choices.

After hearing Ron's list, I think the car might actually be done sooner than everyone thinks. Everyone has been saying Tuesday, but I think Monday is possible.
Thanks Matt. Ya think Monday? I woulda thought the list is more Wednesday
