Dude, it looks good. Very custom and unique. I dont know about you, but i think it kind of a trick aspect. Black with brown accents. No worries kid. That **** looks good. Just get some sunlight pics

that looks good to me, just a wet sand and polish. start with 2000 grit, move to 3000 grit, then medium polish, machine glaze, then swirl remover. mequires tan colored bottles, meant for the professional ppl. the burgandy bottles shouldnt be used with a machine.

Verry nice kid, I think it looks great. And after you are done swapping the wheels, and touching up the finish. And doing the other things people mentioned, and you will a **** looking Z. I am running around with my sidemarkers off also. LOL I am going to have some sheetmetal behind the holes, and then fill the little bit with body filler. And sand and smooth it out, and paint it. I have grown to love, having the sidemarkers off. So they are not coming back. All in all man, it looks like a different car altogether. Keep those pics coming, mad props!

Looks awesome Kid. The color looks cool. Dont trip about getting it re-sprayed. Just like everyone else said, sand and polish, throw your wheels on and ENJOY IT. If you really dont like the color that much you can always re-spray this winter. Keep it for the upcoming warm months and let that be the trial period. AND PUT YOUR DAMN WHEELS ON!!!!
