Very cool.
The top picture of the front bumper has a sheen that is just perfect stealth. It may just be the angle as the others don't have that same look.
There is an actual SR-71 sitting about a mile down the road from where I work. I can take some pictures if you actually want to mimic that color.

Brian, thanks man. the lighting was bad and its a difficult color to capture on film - the more i look at the pics the more I'm leaning towards having him keep the color just as it is. I'm torn...

And if you happen to take pics of the SR71, i'd be more than thrilled to see them. :)

You have to stencil this little guy on the corner of the rear deck lid... make him small and maybe in a light gray to offset the balck.

He'd be PERFECT for this project. The "SKUNK WORKS" logo...

Rory that's awesome, thanks man - that might be the finishing touch I was looking for!

Dig what you are doing with the color ... it's going to look badass !

looks great i would leave it like that Gabriel ! :cool: just like mine looked before it had a million scratches and turned greyish :D hey If you want the decal like Rory showed i will make you one, just tell me what you want. I can do one in gloss black or white or whatever let me know.



Cheers,

when it's done.. we shall call it "Little Stinky" hahah!

IMHO that is just perfect (judging by the pictures off course). Skunkworks and the stealth concept is exactly what comes to mind. Have seen the SR-71 in Huntsville by the way. simply awesome.

SR-71.. that would be an appropriate tag # for this car!!

The Skunk is allmost done it would look nice in gloss over your matte car :cool:

Ed, that's totally awesome! Not to mention the tail uprights mimic the tail of the SR71...hell I don't know who's more excited you guys or me!

That IS sweet!

That paint job looks unreal! your going to scare the bejeebers out of anyone you pull up behind. If only there was a stealth paint to keep the police radar off of you...

I jumped off the exit on the way home and took some pictures for you.
This thing is AWSOME in person. The color you have now is perfect - grey/black.
