Infini Green... YES!!

Car looks great to say the least. I don't think I know of anyone else on this forum with that color.
How does the paint look in person, compared to pics?



Oh, and.... How is the fitment of the b-wave front?

The paint is actually red in person.

Nah, seriously, it's incredible. It's almost a flip flop paint but MUCH more subtle as it changes. Depending on the angle of the light, I'm seeing dark blue, dark green, and black. Definitely quite metallic. There is no doubt that the maroon interior looks like garbage next to it regardless of which color is showing. LOL.

The bumper fit pretty well overall. Minimal shaving on my part to get it on there.

Here are a few shots for you guys. Keep in mind that it ha NOT been buffed out yet. Better pics to come after a few minor issues are taken care of.









Enjoy!

Looks good man! I'm going to get my car painted semi-soon and am trying to decide if I should keep it white or go another color. My motor is already out as I'm rebuilding it, so hopefully I can decide while its still out!
