Besides, the Gulf cars were REALLY baby blue.. and they were sorta fast.

I know it's not a trend-setting as black.. but it's somethin'
Honestly, I like it.. You have to be from CA and in touch with your feminine side but hey, it's 2013.

Turns out it's brighter.. like a darker Laguna Seca blue.. it's pretty and when it gets kitted out with trim/wheels/stuff it will really pop.

Next week we assemble Track Rat and Jon at Best Of Show will lay down the CF and blood red graphics.. we will also be doing a tatoo on the lower front fenders.



Love that color.

You kidding' me? I could start a business selling bottles of touch up paint as nail polish to all the women who get dragged to car shows. And to think I wanted to just paint it gray.

Matt,

Not everyone hates the purple.

You just need to embrace your true target market.
