Wait a minute. I thought this was a joke? I thought you were just messing around with us and put glitter on the car???? You really did put paint flakes on your car?! OHH LAWD!!

Seriously dude, props to you for having the ***** to f*ck up your paint.

My condolences.

no more hating because, Hana Montana approves
1) I really care about what other people think so I took time to post pictures on the interwebs
2) you have to no life to enjoy *sparkles* on your car's paint.
3) I get compliments every time i step into the car by 9 year old girls who play with barbies.
corrected!

If you didn't care you wouldn't of be offended which obviously you are. It is too much going on in the paint, the flakes stands out completely more then your original paint.

I'm not a fan neither, but I think it will look better in person than in pictures, when you can stand a bit further in sunglight to see it.

Glitter belongs on a stripper's breasts and not on your Z. (.)(.)

you bought the car like that and instead of getting it repainted you bought rims? hmmmm... definitely not the route i would've taken. that thing reminds me of the paint on bowling *****.

I guess I'm the only one but I love it. Reminds me of classic car paint jobs. Plus It's actually something different. I like it.

^+1. The paint does not look bad at all. Although your the flakes were very pronounced in your first picture, I don't think it deserved all the bashing.

You must understand that many people on this forum will bandwagon once the ball starts rolling. You see, had maybe Andy at performance, or Cheston, or someone like Volk350z done this...people would be swinging from their nuts...because of their popularity on this forum.

Don't sweat it, I think your car is coming together nicely. Get some nice rims to go with the drop and lip, and you're looking pretty sharp.

To everybody else saying he "fukced" up his paint...chill out. OEM Paint has "glitter" in it too, so just keep your negativity to yourself. I don't see anyone bithcing about the flakes in the PPW or the new San Marino blue
