well, i have always loved the red on black scheme. it has always just caught my eye, however with this build i didn't want to go cherry red on a little bit higher class car so after much looking i finally decided to go with a cranberry red. It is a deeper red that, in my opinion, keeps it a bit more classy, so a friend of mine put a base coat and clear coat on all the pieces just as if it were the outside of the car, very high quality and very well done.....when finished the only thing on the outside of the car will be the brembos stripped and redone in that same cranberry red so you'll get a little taste on the outside of what is on the inside....so thats the story....and i'm open to opinions.....do you like it...if you don't thats fine, everyone has their own taste and i realize that but with anything i see that anyone does to their car, even if i don't like it, i always appreciate the fact that they like it and most importantly, the work that was involved in it

Cant wait to see it done, but I agree on the painted interior. No matter how good of a quality, you have a painted red interior on a luxury sports coupe like the G-imo its downgrading the look, but like you said its your car, good luck with everything.

Alberto, you couldn't have responded with more class. Most people are incapable of what you just did, giving an honest opinion without being a dick. Thanks i appreciate you being mature about it. Anyways, i want to be in this busniess and in order to do so you have to be able to take criticism so here it is. hahah anyways i think it'll be alright when its done.
