I would only do that if my paint was bad and I couldnt afford a paint job. IMO it is just OK.

I like it a lot when I see it in pictures. In person, I am not sure if cars that are painted flat black look that great.

Would have made a better "Kit" for the Knight Rider series than a Mustang

OK for '32 Deuces with flame jobs but a Corvette? Nah, sorry.
Proof I guess that the C5 is the new Camaro.

Murdered? Whatever dood.

I respect that it's different, and that he has the (check the spelling) huevos to do that, and I dig the GTR rear facia.

Not lovin it though. If he's happy though, high five.

Oh my! That's what I want mine to look like when I repaint it. I am interested in the "care" of that kind of paint job. Washing waxing and ect...or the lack there of. Could you ask him how the painter said to care for it?
