The actual name of the color is Light Stellar Blue. It's quite hard to get the actual color in a picture, it sometimes comes out gray, other times it looks navy blue. But it is a light blue. I've only seen 1 other car my color, member BlueEssEss. But one day I would like to add the high sport kit, especially since I'm planning on swapping in an L67.

Although I must say, after revving it up to about 5k RPMs a couple times for the video I noticed that now when I start her up and drive I don't notice as much drone (if any really) around 2k rpms like I used too, and start up is almost silent.

I don't know if it's a fluke or what, but regardless.

Ok, picture time.

^^^ This one was just luck...the sun was in my eyes so I couldn't see what I was hitting exactly, so I just took the picture, still not too bad. The car is just to long to catch it all.

i like your car and photos, but have y considered wrapped yr car with carbon fiber, it wil be much better

Thank you. But I didn't shave the trunk, the lid and spoiler came off an '05 Monte and from '05 on they didn't come w/ keyholes from the factory.

Car does look great! That color does look nice when the car is done right. BlueEssEss had the Xexon body kit and I forget the brand of wheels but he sold that car in 07 for a 07 Silverado.

I thought you shaved the trunk lock as well being that your car is a '00. Mines an '01 and I debadged and shaved because for me it was cheaper aka free to shaved and paint.

You can see that the passenger door doesn't match the rest, so I'll have to get that fixed, probably next spring. But my painter is VERY good at matching the paint. He painted the whole trunk lid and spoiler (matches perfectly) and he made all the trim body color (since mine is an LS it's charcoal from the factory).

But yep, my trunk does throw a lot of people off.
