they have a black/goldish maybe bronze combination powder coat that looks good.
 
go buy some dupli-color chrome...and dupli-color anodized paint of whatever color you want...chrome it first...then paint the color over it...of course after you have sanded and prepped it for painting

here is my buddys 350z that he did himself...and ill be doing the same with mine...once i get it running again...lol

yes... any color. :) Free. And... seriously... what's the big deal with Scarface? I've seen the movie, but why the hype over a 30 year old flick? I feel like I missed something... or maybe it's because I'm not a guy.

I like it because of what it is, not the movie itself. I saw it and I wasn't impressed at all:(
 
send it to me, i'll have it done for you for free. ;) any color. and btw how was Santa Cruz?

hmmm.. i already bought some universal gold, but i'm gonna do a black coat first to try and darken it up a bit.. i'll be doing the one i'm taking off also.. i'll let you know when its off.. i'll probably take you up on your offer

Santa Cruz was cool.. i officially hate the freeways up there.. hahah.. i got lost on the way there and on the way home.. dont ask me how.. i was following the directions.. but all the fuckin forks in the road and shit..
 
What color is your engine bay?

Widow - It's mainly about respect. Yes, it was a great piece, but it inspired many other movies. It's a classic =D. Oh, and it as sex, drugs, and violence. Need I say more?
 
Well, anything will go with white =D. Go for lime green =X
