Wow... normally I hate flashy colors and huge wheels... but that is a very nice looking car. I personally wouldn't paint mine that color, but it does look nice.

Very nice car. I like the color.

I think I've seen it before, looks familiar with that color and no trim. Regardless, looks beautiful

Yup, that's my Brother's. Right now it's undergoing a Mariah IMSA Pacifico Wide Body Kit with large Whale tail, electric fan, shorter gear ratios, and side draughts. So far it has a Rotary performance Header, straight piped to a 5 Zigen muffler, stripped emmisons, limited edition BBS rims, Koni front strut inserts, and dual belt alternator pulley.
