    New Paint!!!

    Went this morning to pick up my SC from the shop that was painting it. Overall I feel he did a really good job. The paint really shines in the sun and the car looks completely different. Not a super expensive perfect job, but a good professional quality paint job that will last until I finish college and can afford to restore the car 100%.

    Also I got a question for you guys. Should I put the shelby decals on or not? I'm kinda digging the clean look. Theres no badges except for the two pentastars and the Shelby decal in the window lol

    Re: New Paint!!!

    Man...looks great! I've never seen that color in good condition, and, I must say, I like it a lot more now...lol And, from what I can see...that paint job looks like it will last more than just a few years...looks very professional.

    We do need to meet up whenever I get my GLH done and painted...West coast of FL Turbo Mopes representin'...lol

    Probably by the end of the month I'll have her done

    EDIT: also...my personal opinion...I like the shelby decals...just because it identifies the car...but, then again, it does look good clean as well. Your call.

    Looks great and definately put the decals on, looks like it's missing something without them.

    Looks great. I'd vote for the Shelby decals too. Is the stripe painted on?
