i don't like it only because the paint doesn't match, that's very tacky!

It looks okay. I've seen this done on a DB before also. i think the white looks better. More of a fan of blacked out housing on a Z though.

Good work but I don't really like it...doesn't look to match ppw too well

now that looks great!

I think they look nice MYSPIVEY! I've thought about doing this to my PPW as well. The paint is $$$$...the paint is 3 stage and costs approximately as follows (price per pint):
Base = $45
2 stage = $45
Pearl clear = $55

I inquired about the paint myself from English Color Automotive Paint & Collision Supply. It just takes extreme patience to do it with 3 stage paint...I'm gonna try it eventually.
