So either:
A) I'm Retarded
B) My eyes are playing with me
C) Retarded and my eyes are playing with me
D) Your stripes go from the darker silver color in front and fade to black?
Can you maybe get some more pics of the stripes? I really like them!! It seems like you've maybe spent some time in a paint booth before. Good job on the car!

I'll get some more pics of under the hood and of the stripes. thanks for the comments everyone... both good and bad. 
It took over 3 hours to just lay out the stripes... nothing on that car is straight! lol. I used the 350Z "gray" and faded it to jet black. just to be different. It looks awesome in person.
As for the rims:
the stock ones were pretty damaged from the accident and leaked air.. besides the factory potenza's SUCKED. I got a smoking deal on the Ruff 280's with new TPMS and KDW2's so I went with them.

What about post #43? Wasn't being rude or anything, just curious. I've always found the green tape to sticky to lay without an intercoat clear. I take it you do bodywork? Everything looked great. I do bodywork myself, so if you ever want to chat just give me a pm.
