Default Pics of my black/blue metallic Z

Car has been out the shop for about a month. The paint scheme is a trip, looks black or blue depending on light angle. I'm a happy camper.

Thanks for the compliments!

I don't remember what kind of paint it was called(high quality), but I do know it has seven clear coats which really gave it that deep wet look.

Wicked...I've always loved that color. Looks great on the Z. Did they do a complete job...engine compartment, inside of doors...?

Wow. That's money. I'm sure the pictures just don't do it justice.

Who did your paint work if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks again,

To answer questions,

-Car was painted at Elite Body in Miami
-No I didn't paint engine bay or inside door's, wasn't worth it for me.
- Yes a carbon blue was used, but not from bmw or celica.

mods:
-greddy full lip kit
-iforged aero's, 19x10, 19x9
-toyo t1r's, 245/35/19 & 285/30/19
-eibach pro kit


BTW, if anyone local is looking for a nice paint job, let me know. I'm in tight with this body shop, good pricing.

Would love to see some better pics man... nice color choice, that is almost exactly the custom color that I would go for on my own ride if I were painting.

Very nice color. I bet you turn a lot of heads...and mostly from other Z owners.

Very sexy combo. Wheels look great. I'm thinking of selling my Works for something similar.

Thanks again,

I'll be posting some nice day time shots this weekend for better blue reflection. I wanted to go FI with this car.I bought a long block for build(which is now for sale in classified), with a good quote on installation but I just closed on a house. Plans have been prolonged. It just sucks having srt's and sti's taunting me(car attracts alot of attention) constantly without having any recourse against it, lol. That's life. My last car waw a 90 tt(427whp), so this takes some getting use to. I will say that the z33 is an aesthetic success.
