Love the look, I have the silver color also and considered doing the roof but not to many people like it but looking at your car I love it. I am also considering something different and will share it with you chicago boys since Mike's (passnu2) is in your club. Tell me what you guys think:

You know how mike blacked out his entire grill area, I am considering doing that but extending it up onto the hood. You know how our cars have those to ridge lines on the hood that come straight down and line up with the upper corners of the grill? So that entire area would be black (again my car is silver). The chrome around my headlights would be painted silver also. The only chrome piece would be the emblem. Let me know your thoughts.

Again your ride is sick

I think you could do it so long you paint the roof black and the trunk also. That way it will flow. Ask Gytis to have his son do a photochop for you since his car is silver also and you can get an idea. Come to Chicago and you can have the master mind Gytis paint if for you

Gytis, I showed a friend here in Houston your work (your car, Mike's car, my car...).

He wants to get his S2000 painted by you. He just needs an estimate. We need to talk this weekend; plus I'll try to stop by to pick up the rest of my parts I have laying around your garage.

Mike
I would love to come to chicago and hang for a few, You guys work on your cars together which is cool. That would be great if He could PS it but would like to see it with just the hood done between the ridge lines. I'm thinking if I do that I should color match the lower grill to car color.
