Its a candy red from House of Kolor with a gold base, actually. Beautiful color. When the sun hits it, the color really pops!

yeah, matt's a great guy. wish I had the cash for him to design my car for me. :D I didn't know he had his own clothing line. Nice looking stuff for great prices.

good luck with the car cynce, what are the engine plans? Build and turbo, or just clean up and make pretty? ;)

Due to time & money constraints, we only had time to clean up the engine bay and do some basic bolt-on's. We added the DC Sports 4-1 Header, AEM Intake, Polished the valve cover, added the polished AEM battery tie-down, and finished it off with the aluminum Greddy air diversion panel. Turbo is in the works as we speak, though ;)

Here are some pics...

Just to clean it up a little more and bring everything together, we had the underside of the hood painted to match the body color and pearl stars were also added under the hood...

By the looks of this car I dont think "cutting corners" is in her vocabulary.
