just posted these in the laser blue thread, figured i'd get them in here too... Last pics before some more major changes....
These are a few months old... most recent changes include wrapping door handles with black vinyl, and switching to the "justacooper" amber side markers, as seen in my sig.
(i think i made too many exposures for the bottom hdr image, it's a little weird, i may try re-making it at some point)

Okay, here's the story on the kids 97 MCS. Two weeks ago, we installed H&R springs we got from ALTA along with their oval tip cat back exhaust. Car looked good, sat good and sounded even better. That night he went out to a club with my niece and nephew. ( I guess that would also be his cousins) Once he got home, he noticed some @-hole scratched the bonnet and left side. Talk about one let down kid. Especially since he was just home for the week between his internship and heading back to college.
Well, oevr the last week and a half, we prepped out the scratches and repainted the car. It was Mellow Yellow, but there are a bunch of MY cars out there and it wasn't really YELLOW. SO.... after test shooting several options including Lamborghini and Mazda pearl yellows, we decided on Honda's Indy Yellow Pearl. We substituted one of the pearls as well as adding some gold pearl into the clear. I have to say, on first view it isn't too awful far from MY. But up close, the color has a ton of "pop"! He'll have it at the Dragon this year if all goes well. Now if I can just get him to sign up on NAM and get more involved!

This should be a factory color, hands down. Great job!
