Default My flaky Z with new front lip.

Just got this Z in August. Previous owner did an aftermarket paint job after car was broken in to. Its a factory black with red pearl flake over it and then layer of clear. I knew about it when i got teh car but due to dark cloudy day i didnt get a chance to see the paint in its full effect. Still trying to figure out if i like it or not. At first i kinda hated it but now its starting to grow on me. Pics dont do justic due to lighting but i think it gives a pretty good idea. i hink first pic is only one you can really see the flakes. light has to hit it just right in order for it to show up

Also thought i'd give ebay lip a try ... figured for 140 it wouldn't be that big of a loss. didn't get a chance to paint it so i just slapped it on to see how it looks. Its nice it extends forward more then pictures showed and fitment around bumper lights isn't perfect(as expected with ebay product) but i like it.

Hey, I know. Let's use a paint finish that makes it look dirty ALL THE TIME.

I'm sure it looks better in person

How do you match the paint on something like that?

Sounds like it would look pretty cool in person. Can't see it all that well in the pics. And burnt orange seats on black FTW.
