I would love to see some pics of that bad boy between an EB and an LMB vette. Got any friends with those colors?
It is difficult to see but I think your car is somewhere between those two colors - correct?
Either way - it is drop dead gorgeous
Nice work!

First , pics of the car at the same park where the first post (pics) were taken, when it was Silver. Sorry for some angles that look the same, I was just snapping shots out of excitement.



















TO BE CONTINUED...

What's amazing to me, is no matter what angle your standing at, you can almost watch the paint change from blue, to purple, to dark blue.. it's wild...

More pictures coming..

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blow this off (I didn't see it). It's from Ecklers. It's not CF, but it was over 1/2 the cost of the CF with a terrific fit

Crap - I forgot the engine bay! That's just as clean, too! I'll do that today, if the weather holds out.

As for the color - I think when I finally do get the chance to park beside an EB car, you'll see the difference..
