Hey ZG, could you post a couple side by side pics of the first coat of green and the finished job.  Flipping back and forth is not doing it justice and I'm not computer savvy enough to do it myself.
Thanks

I think the black badges are gonna look pretty good on this green, I just put the ABS front fender stickers on, I went with the 08 stickers because they did em in black that year vs the 09 that are silver...  8)

I just got an email from the painter, they are done with the black badges, so now I can pick up the balance of the pieces today.  8)
