Oh cool I wasnt sure if it was just your photo/camera settings. Thats a nice color choice, basically black at night and in the shade but under the sun you have a purple hue/metallic going on.

And $300, can't beat it.

I am getting mine repainted the stock onyx black, not for that price though but insurance is covering it.

Its currently beige right now? Anyways your build looks promising so far, have fun.

Once again good color choice, I like it.

Can you post a non-filtered photo of the sun hitting it in a particular spot? I want to see this purple metallic peak out

Its really hard to get a picture of! Go to your local Infiniti dealership and check out the m57, g37 sport or the new QX. they should have the color!

Honestly, I would actually go and look but the closest Infiniti dealer to me is around 30 miles away lol. Just try take a shot of it in direct sunlight and let most of us figure it out from there Also, pics of that RX7?

Just figured I'd throw up another shot of the trunk for all you guys wondering how I've got everything laid out.

The umbrella was a nice touch.

Haha, thanks man! Eventually, I'm going to install a pair of hooks into the trunk lid to hold things. Kind of like what DriftGirl did with her GS, but instead of 2 pairs, just 1.

It'll mainly be used for umbrella duty, or to hold a scary, black gun or sword (at shows, of course).

I seriously can't get over how much awesome there is in this car and now that you added the ram bar, it's even better. You should definitely throw us some insight into how you pulled that off.

I really like the first pic's rims~ I bet they look great when the car's slowing down- like chopper blades. ;]
