Default Ready for paint...

Dropped the car off this morning.. Getting my HL covers, front bumper, hood (ofcourse) repainted.. Here is a little tease of what it will look like once complete... only difference will be the "red" pinstriping seperating the Black from the Carbon, & realigned! Can't wait!!

That's one blacked out 'Vette I like. I bet it's a part time job keeping the black really clean. Even with polished metal it's hard to keep up with the brake dust. I might get some of those Bobcats I've heard about.

So, you're basically just repainting, not changing the design? I hope so, as your car really looks good. Love those spyders in gloss black.
