Default Finally finished! Z06 Repaint
what started off as a quick front end respray and a c5r front lip with aci sideskirts turned into a complete repaint i can gladly say she is finished!

before:



after:




still need to clear bra the front end, side skirts, behind the tires, mirrors, put the emblem on the front, position the z06 emblems to the correct spot, and give it a good polish! It's about 90% done!

the color is Lamborghini Balloon White Pearl
