Got any pics of the stealth flat black to compare with regular black? I'd like to see exactly what stealth flat black is. Hurry up and take some pics dude, I wanna see it with the new hood and scoop.

[turboXR]

There's only one car i know of with stealth black, its in the latest super street. I'll bring it to class tomorrow. I have a bunch of pics with the new hood already, just havent posted them. I'm going to bed. :thumbup:

:otl:

[Wolfgraen]

Aight, just make sure you don't forget the mag, I wanna see it. By the way, if the latest issue is still the May issue (I don't know when they put out the new ones each month), did you see the tricked out 2001 Maxima sponsored by Lightning Audio. That Max was freaking sweet.

That has my vote :)

[turboXR]

The only problem is finding the paintcode

:otl:

[I8ayellowcrayon]

Email Ford. See if they can direct you anywhere... Its worth a shot maybe.

[turboXR]

I might do that. It is worth a shot.

:otl:

[Mr. Merk]

contact Dave, Karens dad, he might be able to get it for you :thumbup:

need to see if we can get an OTL discount since 4 of his "kids" are in it

[turboXR]

Thats the way to do it. Do it right the first time and it will last longer.

Since you are doing a color change are you going to do the engine bay, door jams, ect?

[turboXR]

Well, if i go red, then i wont do the engine bay and stuff. If i go another color, im waiting till i pull the motor for my new Worldclass T5 and hybrid turbo, etc. install and i will gut the interior and do it all at once.. whatever color i decide on

[I8ayellowcrayon]

Dave could paint it, but he needs the "code" to mix colors to get the exact color.

[turboXR]

Who's dave?

[turboXR]

pretty sure i found the paint code....XSC 1903C thats what a Cosworth site says.
