I agree there. I didn't think that color would look good on a Camaro, but it really does.
Sounds like she's gonna be a really nice car by the list you have!

Under hood will be black and brushed aluminum, real low key. core support, inner fenders, bottom of hood, hinges, etc are a satin black. Firewall is body color. I've had a hard time with the stripe thing. For now my plan is to leave it as is and drive it some. I actually built some 1-18 scale diecast camaros to look at diff designs and one has the entire hood, cowl and top of fenders blacked out. I liked it but most didn't. The shop that painted it said about 85 percent of the people that stopped to look at it loved the color, the others hated it. Car was ralley green to start so i thought it should stay green just a more modern one.

That caddy is cool!!

I figured the e-85 fuel had me covered for going green.

Thanks for the comments guys!

color match center on wheels?

Black powder paint (not hi-gloss) the wheels and add flat black or semi-flat hockey stripes, body color front bumper, Prodigy Smoked glass kit...done!!

Just my $.02 of course....certainly someone can Photochop it!

X2!!! Never been a fan of green but your car makes me love it!

I wouldn't paint the wheels. I think it has a good balance just the way it is.

That looks alot like HOK Limetime Pearl! It's always been one of my favorite colors on cars

That car looks KILLER in that color. I agree with awr68, maybe a touch of flat or satin black mixed in somwhere? But even without it that just rocks!

OK Eric, you and Tony convinced me. I think it will look killer with some flat black on it as well.

Any updates on this bad boy?

That is a GREAT shade of green! I like it. Very different from the Normee stuff. I seriously don't think I'd stripe it at all, nor would I change the wheel color. I think it makes a statement enough of it's own. Only thing I might do would be black out the usual chrome pieces. Bumpers, window surround, door handles and locks, and grill. ...Maybe. Also, a peanut butter interior color would be cool against the exterior.

One more thing. I'd love to see the diecasts. I'm currently working on one for my Chevelle. It's going to represent somewhere between the current and concept stage.
