Wow! that looks great! I really like the choice of color
I also like how the trim is painted to match.

Hope the weather gets better soon so you can take more pics.

Nice choice of color man, looks identical to my 89 GXL accept my GXL is the stock color so there probably is a difference. I still like the half spoiler on the back of mine as well. Though I love the S5 Paneling and nose on your S4. Damn inovative man!!!!

Your car looks nice man. Did you get all the interior little crevaces like the door jams, sunroof and hood troughs painted too? I have a great color idea for my car but wouldn't want to havethe old color peaking out from every corner, ya know?

come to think of it.. Iwouldn't mind a little road trip to the nether regions of GA for a great deal on a paint job....can you share the hook-up?

What's up with those tires? What are they, 205/30's? Looks like electrical tape wrapped around a tire.
