They should call that the snotrod, seriously though that green is horrible! The only cars green looks good on is Jaguars, how about a deep blue instead?

*Ahem* That color should be called Monkey Vomit Green.

I've toyed with the idea of having my SSM car 2-toned, with metallic black on the top seperated by a silver stripe--similar to Eibach's CR-Z--only with different colors. These days, I think more of having the black on the bottom and leave the SSM on top.

I have a friend that runs a body shop and would only charge me paint + materials, plus I'd get to spray it myself. We'll see. Might be a project for next spring.

O.O plastidip ... this stuff is amazing @_@ I am srsly tempted to buy the professional car kit I want to vinyl wrap my z in white matte I got a quote from what seems to be the best place in san diego to get it done at 2242 O.O Planning to save up for about 4 months n get that done but tempted to plastidip in the meantime (mostly because i am impatient and also because others could see how it is on the z :O tho since i plan to go with the white vinyl thinking of plastidip with the flourescent purple :X its only 286$ and purple is my fave color >.>;;

plastidip sometimes does not come off as easy as it seems, and it may get into crevices on your car that you will not be able to peel it out of, something to consider if you want it wrapped later on

Wrapping seems to be best option I got quoted £600 for my whole Z in any colour thing I’m unsure about though say I go matt black or carbon black.... because my car is black anyway would I have to notify my insurance company because technically I haven’t changed the colour...????
