Looks good, I'm sure it looks much better in person though, that gray looks very difficult to photograph where it shows its "true colors".

Rara,
You're absolutely right. As I was looking at the paint in the mixing room, it looks pretty cool with all the blue and red pearl in the paint. But, on the car in the sunlight it's hard to tell the pearl unless you look at it close enough...
This mirror has the red/blue pearl in it clearly seen:
It does look a little different in person and the way the light travels across the metallic is hard to show with the camera. The shots here show the clearest look at it so far.
-Dom
P.S. "Dirty"? It is dirty....lol

I'm not trying to be a hardass or anything, but "dirty" was in quotations because there's no way that car can be actually dirty with the way everything was reflecting off of it.
Then again, I also know how much of a perfectionist you are. My vision of clean could be something you would say is filthy.
Either way, I'd have gone a different route as far as what color. That color grey just isn't my deal on a CSVT.

To each his own as they say...
However, what color would you have done it?

No, I'm curious as you've made mention of the fact more than once now. If you are going to go out of your way to say you would've done differently - Then spit it out.
