I couldn't even imagine the blood sweat tears and money that will be spilt when you get that first rock chip. I'd understand if it had a kit then got painted... but that's not the case. Good luck.

It's been painted this color for about 1 and a half years. I bought it from the guy after he had already painted it. I would never pay 8 or 9 thousand dollars for a paint job... But it's fun to have

Always enjoyed the Chameleon paint, never enjoyed trying to match it.. gonna be a headache if you ever have an incident or accident.

The black on the wheels does nothing for the vehicle and color, no pop IMO

Flush the wheels with spacers, Headlights (Self mod or upgrade to 06+) Paint or upgrade the Brakes (Gold or Brembo upgrade), Some Aero Touches such as a front lip/chin spoiler, side skirts, rear valances possibly, MOAR LOWAR!!

Just my .02

I hadn't even thought of painting the brakes! Do you know if there is a thread on here on how to do it?
And yea I'm currently working on getting a lip, and valances or diffuser or maybe both ;] lol

Thanks for you .02 !

I don't know why I didn't catch this at first but why are you taking pics at a graveyard?

Just thought it would be a neat place to get some good shots. It's a dark and dreary place and we had lighting to contrast it all. And just looked bad-*** with the car

Maybe so, but it's totally disrespectful to the people visiting their passed loved ones. Perhaps there is a chance nobody was there at the time, but I can't help but think how it would have looked if someone was there crying at a grave site with you guys and your camera gear hustling about in the background trying to take pictures of a chameleon colored Z. Food for thought.

No offense but you're being quite extreme.. I wouldn't have proceeded with setting up or even stopping if people were visiting graves. Shall we get back to car talk please?

No problem, but how in the world could you have known when someone was going to visit a grave?
