It's just a saying I like to use, but believe me bro even without the car they drop. Don't get me wrong the paint was a sponsorship, but it was all my design and idea, DTM executed it flawless, so much detail and prep work was put into it, a good combo of pink and enough black to not overkill. As much as people like to flame me for it I don't mind because come show time it gets more attention and respect than a lot of others do. Even the guys from HIN couldn't help but to jump on board with this project and that means a lot to me since i've had the car since Feb. of 2003. Even then when it was DB blue it got attention, but not in the way I wanted. Now it has pictures in Super Street mag, Import Tuner mag and some other ones people have brought to my attention. Like I say to each his own.

Head Unit - i am a fan of Double Din's.. the single din isn't that bad.. but it leaves the tray under... just doesn't look as uniformed.. if you had a single din eq under it it would compliment it better
Sub Box - should make it all one level... make it more uniformed.. or go with the dual 12 sub box (no trunk space) or the Under the strut bar sub box
Rear Speakers - i am not feeling those grills.. look out of place.. a bit too flashy for the system.. if you had fiberglass everywhere with the same color.. then yeah.. ok.. but just go with a simple black grill
Amp Rack - clean it up a bit.. i would get rid of the cross overs in the middle.. but if you really want to keep them.. look into little black plastic clips to the wires in place.. right now they are just all over
here is a shot if the back of my amp rack so you know what the black pieces i am talking about

I hear you on the work done.. time to rest.. i feel the same way.. i want to switch my RCA's to a better set.. but i am too lazy right now to pull the rear panel off and run the wires under the carpet again.. sometimes you just want to enjoy your music for a while.. i hear you.

i wasnt referring to you doug, you gave me constructive critisism which was much appreciated. There were other small posts of negative feedback with no explanations, and the majority of people it seemed did not like it at all.
Please dont think I was badmouthing you for trying to help me buddy!

and to answer your question, 350zsa. I looked up the color code for the silver paint on the interior door handles, and that was the color I used.
www.paintscratch.com
when you paint it, you dont even have to sand it. I would buy some sandable primer, and bulldog adhesive promoter from advance auto. (bout 4bucks a can. 1 can of each should do you). spray 3 coats of bulldog, let that dry for a few hours, then spray a lot of primer in multiple coats, (wait about 19-30 min between coats, i had like 6 coats of primer on all of my pieces) let them dry for a day or so. sand the primer smooth. ( I used 500 grit paper, then 800 grit paper, then 1000 grit paper progressively.) Make sure that puppy is SMOOOOOTH. the better the foundation, the better the house type philosophy. Buy 1 can of silver paint from paintscratch. I cant remember the silver paintcode....but call them, they can help you out. Buy 1 can of the catalyzed clear coat, some 2000 grit sandpaper, and some rubbing compound from the site as well. After you spray about 3 coats of silver paint on the primer and it has dried completely...run the pieces under some water and sand them again with 500 grit paper, then two more coats of paint sanding both times in between. Finally lay down the last coat of paint slightly heavier than the previous coats and let it dry overnight. The next day, take your can of clearcoat and activate it by punching the button on the bottom of the can....align your pieces so that they are fairly level and spray a good amount of clearcoat on them. (more than you think you will need for 1 coat.) wait a few hours (2-3) for that to dry and do it again...slightly smaller amount. Do this ABUNCH of times, I used a whole can on both of my pieces in this fashion. Finally when all is said and done...let dry overnight, then take your 2k grit sandpaper, wet your pieces and sand the pee-pee out of them. (my arm was in dire pain after this.) DONT run into the base coat! (if you put enough clearcoat like i said earlier you wont have this problem.) after that is done, it will look like crap...scuff marks everywhere and dirty. Get a clean cloth and put some rubbing compound on it......rub the pieces down from head to toe untill your arm is about to fall off. (I did this for 3 straight hours to get results.) untill it shines like a mirrior. Wait a day or so before waxing...boom
