I know I should stick with a factory color but I saw a GM color that I really liked so I am going to give it a try. It is called Silver Birch Metallic. It is a warmer silver color which I think will look pretty good witht the Graphite Rewinds that I bought.

The front air dam was from Black Dragon and the skirts and rear wrap around were from Mariah. They all needed a bit of detail work when I got them. The molds being used to produce the parts must be getting a little beat-up.

I'm in Bay City. The thumb pit of Michigan.
