I am going to guess it will look better with the core support black. The body color is so bright that if you do it body color that it will take away from the grill and other front end trim. It will act as a "light" behind the grill and you will lose some of the details.

that's what I'm thinking I might have to go back and repaint the core support black. But I'll scope it out once I get the grill in and it all put back together. Still have to wet sand and buf the car out. But it should shine in this Florida sunlight.

I imagine that color is going to be VERY noticeable in the Florida sun!

When you get the grill in and before you paint the core black post up a pic, I'd like to see it both ways.

Just for the fun of it have you thought of incorporating your stripes in to the core support? This way you would have a lot of black in the grill area and green would show when you opened the hood.

Just a thought

i'm thinking I might just paint the front face of the core support black, So i still have the green under the hood. IDK, I'm going to wait and see what it looks like with the grill on.

Ok, the car rolled out of the garage today after a good wet sanding and buff. We finally got the windshield in so we were able to install the front & rear glass in as well.

Looks good but I think the mirrors are a little out of place, too bulky for the Nova.
Just my .02.
