Now that's interesting.
I'm sure the cell phone pictures don't do it justice.

To rkhegler, nothing, it peels right off.

How durable is that on the body? Will it withstand washings? Wouldn't a wrap be more durable?

The wheels look great, but just not feeling all the green on the rest of the car. But if you're happy with it, rock on.

As stated earlier, peeling-off where the black accents used to be would then make the color pop.

I like the color, it just needs some easily-done tweakage.

I like it. Looks better than I expected after reading the description.

I'd try taking the dip off the carbon flash painted stuff though.

Like a few before me have said....all that matters is if YOU like it. The nice thing is..... if you get tired of it....you're only a spray can away from changing it.

Reminds me of the CF member who, a few years ago, painted his C6 Army Green...he was a soldier. It's was interesting...much like your color scheme.

What's your car's original color?

Not my cup of tea but it doesn't matter what I think. I'd peel the dip off the badges and lights.

Looks pretty good. I love green, so i'm biased.

I think i would let the emblems, splitter, skirts, trim, tail lights other, pieces go back to stock color.

Those pictures taken down by the Hudson in Yonkers?
