Bad thing about that paint job is If you get a dent or something on one of those panels you have to repaint the entire side of the car for it to look back to normal. Don't get me wrong those paint jobs are kick ass but a pain in the ass also.

Re: Opinions on paint scheme...

That is hilarious!! I despise those stick on side vents..... He cheaped out on those even though he went to town on the hood... and well done if I say so... it took a minute but it grows on you..... missed a window on the tint too
I was actually wondering how that would work up here in Wisconsin... our tint laws are pretty annoying... 35 in the back, 50 on the front "vent" windows... but technically the stationary front window really isn't a "vent" window now is it... Perhaps I should run it past one of my buddies down town... cuz lemme tell ya, I NEED TINT!!!!

Re: Opinions on paint scheme...

Holy crap, Tom... where did you find that rice monstrosity? I can't figure out why I am seeing those Buick tri-vents everywhere nowadays. I've seen them on Civics, Caddilacs, and even Mercedes/BMWs. Why do people think they look cool?!? The wing, paint job, and vinyl are terrible... but the "vents" as well... argh!

BTW... I'm going to agree that while the satin/gloss combo could look good... it doesn't seem like it would fit the lines of the SVX. I also think you have pretty good taste, so you'll do the right thing.
