Finally got everything wrapped up yesterday with the car. Been working the last 2 weeks to get it it wet sanded with 2000 and buffed/polished/waxed/detailed. The color actually got darker and almost looks black in the shade but does brighten up in the sun. ![http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01442.jpg](http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01442.jpg) ![http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01448.jpg](http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01448.jpg) ![http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01446.jpg](http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01446.jpg) ![http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01452.jpg](http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01452.jpg) ![http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01461.jpg](http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01461.jpg) ![http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01454.jpg](http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01454.jpg) ![http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01457.jpg](http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01457.jpg) ![http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01469.jpg](http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01469.jpg) ![http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01463.jpg](http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q59/firehawk496/DSC01463.jpg) ---

Hell yeah. Bring it out we usually get a big turn out for the BBQ. I’m looking forward for another pull on the bottle, make sure you put those bigger pills in! ---

It’s a new 2012 color from GM. Found it the week before we were going to shoot it. ---

I need to see it in person. The pics make it look like a black Formula. Shoot the profile shots with the sun to your back. ---

Only way you can tell the difference in the picture is to see the black overlays on the front license plate cover. We actually used black paint to shade the hood scoops and down towards the running/fog lights to give it some depth. We did this the last time when the car was that funky silver/blue color.
