I like black on every car except the 1st gen. With that said it still looks smoking hot.

Yeah, mine is black, and I'm not particularly fond of it. Thinking of going blue or green.

Looks great! It's amazing how much new paint dresses up a car. What are your plans for the rest of the car? Motor, interior, etc?

I took my car to maaco, I did TONS of bodywork on it myself before getting the car painted, I took out the rear side markers and layed a layer of fiberglass over them than sanded them down, than bondoed them, as with the Antenna, Im goign to have to take the car back though, because they let the car sit outside adter painting and it rained and now has permanint water marks.
As far as what I have done I have Installed a Mikuni Side Draft Carb +Intake, and a new catalytic converter although I have plans on running a full exhaust, Some good bodywork tips are do it right the first time! you dont want to mess up body work! Make sure you put enough harder in your bondo....and use as little as possible, go to www.ask.com and type in macoo and click on teh Maaco link and type in your zip code and it will find a Maaco near you.
