need help.

Its time to fix the paint job I had and this time I'm going for show car quality. I have been contemplating over color choice. Stick with same color or ferrari red, go white or pearl white, metallic gray, or chrome. I do like the chrome, but not sure what it would look like on our cars. I plan to have a shop do chrome on the gas door to see how good it would be, but if one of you guys good with photoshop can make my car chrome I would appreciate it.

This is what it looks like now.



This is the type of chrome I like.

If you're still interested in the "chrome" theme, why not have these grills done?

I used to own a red car with Chrome door guards and tail lights... the red/chrome combo is sick! tongue.gif

I actually asked the body shop to do the grills chrome, but he said he didn't have any in stock. Maybe I'll just spray paint it myself later. Might actually look nice. Well the engine is almost complete. A few more days and it'll be back on the road. Will get some more udpated pics soon.
