each of the 16 pieces has about 4 - 6 scew holes ( front fenders, bonnet, boot are replaced completely and they screw onto original holes ) as for the sides you need to make a couple extra holes onto the exsisting body backed up with urethane

Then again black and a dark grey like gunmetal would look cold and machine-like which I like a lot.

There were no survivors
Ignore those small green highlights, I usually mix the coloring myself to get an even tone but that color was a little hard to mix so i pulled it directly from the example car's dark side (as I assumed this was the color you were looking for) and it didn't blend evenly over the car. But its alright to get the "gist" of it.

That's quite nice, you could most likely find the color code on the net. I personally am going to go a little darker. I really like the Galaxy Grey metallic on my daily driver; a 2007 Mazda3. Pics a little small though:

I like metallics for lighter colors, like arctic silver or something along those lines if it's going to be grayscale. Metallics don't pop as much as you'd think they do on darker colors. Pearl, on the other hand, adds that glow to it that you get when you're under streetlights or florescent lights. The right pearl formula will take your breath away.
