Ron, Now that's the million dollar question. My mind changes every day.
Here's what I've narrowed it down to.
1) Jetstream Blue with Satin Black center stripe to match the centers of the wheels. All trim to be Brushed Aluminum look like the wheel lips. Bumpers are ether going to be body color or Brushed Aluminum painted.
2) 2011 Toyota Magnetic Grey Metallic with the same as above, but the bumpers would be body color.
3) Black with Satin Black center stripe, Satin Black trim, Satin Black bumpers
Decisions, Decisions, Decision, now yesterday I saw a Honda car painted Dyno Blue Pearl that I want to go look at.
The caps came off the dreaded E-Bay, I forgot the name of the Cobra website it was.

Well, I got the tires mounted today, I just can't get a good picture of the car with it still in the garage. The front end still has to be lowered about an 1 1/2" to match the rear which is at ride height. Hopefully it will come out of the garage in a week or 2 and I can get some real good pics.

In this pic, ignore the door to fender gap, I had to remove the fender to retrieve a dropped window trim clip, and I didn't want to line it back up with out all four tires on the ground.

Those rears are 345/30/19's Nitto Invo's Once again ignore the rear bumper gaps, it's just put on for the pic, all gaps on the bumpers are 3/16" just like every gap on the car, it's hell being a Machinist, your eye catches every gap if it's wrong, it just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Working on a custom grill now to match the grills in the air intakes I made in the front bumper

Thumbs up

Do you have a build thread on this forum? You should start one, if you don't. Looks like a bad ass build.

Looks awesome David! Your wheels are the first set we've done with the new textured black finish. We were all really impressed here how nice the new finish came out. Thanks again for your business.

looks good! i love the mesh wheels.

is that just primer on bare metal or did you add some filler to the body already? either way it looks really good. i'll have to pick your brain about the filling in the plate on the front bumper. i now know your pain on getting the gaps looking good.......
