Default Forgive my bad manners!

I've been on the forum for a while, but never really formally introduced myself. Fitaholic is the name, and I bought a gun metal 2004 Crossfire Limited about 6 years ago. It had 3600 miles on it when I found it. I had planned to make some changes, but at the time, budget would not allow. Well fast forward to today, and I finally got stage one completed. I did a matte wrap, I had my wheels refinished, and Andrew from our forum was kind enough to make me some custom emblems. I ordered a wire mesh grille from the U.K., and diffusers which I found online and had done in carbon fiber. I'm pretty much done for now. Next up is the suspension and exhaust. Here's a link to a quick walk around. Please let me know what you all think.

I absolutely LOVE the color that you wrapped it in. That is pretty much the exact color I had dreamed about on my car.

Even though I'm not a big fan of a "Matt" finish. I have to say that yours is the 2nd. one that's been posted on the forum recently that's made me sit up and take notice. Looks good.
I don't think I'll ever like the black wheels, but then I'm "Old School" so I have an excuse. That being said, I know that's what's "IN" now, and trends come and go.
I really enjoy seeing different ways owner's "personalize" their cars with different styling ideas.
To me, the Crossfire lends itself quite nicely to the styling trends of the "Muscle Car Era" of the 60's, and I think the blacked out tail section on your car validates it. Kudos

Whew! Great, I thought I might get drawn and quartered for poor forum behavior.

Thanks xjken. You really need to see it in person. It's not your average flat color. It has a satin finish to it so it doesn't look like plain old primer.

Thank you for your opinion fireamx. I didn't think I'd like black wheels either, but after seeing this similar paint scheme on an Audi R8, I thought I might be able to pull it off with the Crossfire. In the end, I'm very happy with the end result.
