Either way I am excited to see what the end results will be.
Me too. I'm pretty sure no matter what he ends up doing it'll turn out fantastic. I can't wait!

OK, so it is taking longer than I thought, but I am ok with it. They are done with body work on everything but the front bumper. They said the Cantrel GT bumper fit is garbage, but they will get it right after more work. The last paint guy told me the same. I like the look, but I think I shouldn't have bought one of the first ones.
Anyway, they did a sprayout of the verde ithica and while it is nice, it is a bit yellow. So I think I am going with the color in the photoshop mockup which is a touch greener.
I will post pics when I get them.

I think your painter used some of YOUR paint on his toolbox. :wink:
I think the toolbox was the inspiration for the car !!!
See the 1st picture down in the first post.:wink:

Yeah, the color was inspired by a WRX wide body show car that he did a while back. It used multiple shades of green in a japanese sunburst paint scheme. He tired different colors and ended up painting his toolbox one of those shades and it was very striking when I saw it.
I never considered green for the NSX, but I like what I see so far. My last 3 cars have been silver, so I think a wild color might be cool and I think the NSX has the proportions to pull it off.
I like it. I would drive it and I'm not a huge fan of green.
pattejam,
I just realized you are in Daytona. I'm in Jax.
You ever get up this way very much?

Yeah, from time to time. I was actually up there at Dave and Buster's last weekend. Do you ever go to any meets?
That looks Ribbit, ribbit. :biggrin: Kermit always said that it was tough to be green.
The color you picked is crazy,i absolutely love it.I was gonna ask how did you get the paint code for Verde Ithaca green? I dont want that specific color but another 1 off the Lambo line.
My guy was able to look the color up in a book. We decided not to go with that exact color after spraying it out.
Look here too: http://www.lambocars.com/archive/paint.htm
Here are a couple more. It looks like I will be back in it by the end of the week.

The inner part of the scoop is going to be satin black:

Bet you cant guess which parts are mine in this pic: :wink:

They are working on the Cantrell GT front bumper now. I got one of the first ones and it is garbage. It is not as bad as the comptech widebodies, but bad all the same.<P>
I am thinking about trashing it and going with a stock bumper.

Outstanding choice, in my opinion. That's like a bright seafoam green. Love it! I bought my NSX as a fun car, not an investment car. If I could (afford to), I'd change my color to something unique as you did and like the car below.
that green is nice
