Got my new hood and sideskirts painted (pics)
Ron's Paint & Body here in Pensacola did the work, and the photos do the work no justice at all. They had nothing but the original blue paint code and faded/weathered piece of stripe material to colormatch with. Everyone who has seen it in person was taken aback to how nice it turned out.
The car is a 90 GTU and I just had the aluminum TII hood and 89+ OEM sideskirts painted to match the car.
***Pics below are VERY large!***

Hey everyone, thanks for the good words 
Actually, the "sponsor decals" were on the car when I bought it. I've done so many changes to the car I think the only thing that I have that's on the doors are the Eibach Springs :-D
The stickers can be made at any vinyl graphics shop. Just print out a logo that you want and they can do it in any color you want.
I don't want to take them off until I get ready to paint the whole car. The stripes had been removed once before and it pulled the clearcoat off with it.

Yeah, when I first saw your car several months ago, a smile came across my face seeing another blue FC with silver stripes.

Dare I ask...................
Remembering the silly flaming going on this subject.... but is there a Turbo under that TII hood?
Personally, I like the way you've put your car together. Very clean, nothing ostentatious . Alot like I'm working my Vert toward. Nice job!

I chose to use the TII hood, because 1. It's lighter, 2. It looks better than the std N/A hood, and 3. I'll be using the stock intercooler this spring/summer when I do the swap.
