I am really digging that paint color. It looks deep like candy. Is that the original color code or slightly different?

It is the original paint code. Depending on the position of the panels or the car when I took the photos, the color looks lighter or darker than normal. It is really exceeding my expectations! I'm told I could take possession of the car as early as tomorrow... I just washed and gassed up the rental ****ty Taurus they gave me in anticipation.....lol

After waiting a couple of extra days while we discussed each other's definition of the word "finished", I took the car back yesterday, and it turned out fantastic. I will get it cleaned properly (we also differ on our definition of the word "clean"...) this weekend and then get some pics posted. The next stop is tomorrow at the muffler shop to slap on a pair of Flowmaster 40s... I need it to sound as good as it looks now... This is a better feeling than I ever got from buying a new car...

Drove around this morning taking a few photos. The quality isn't great, but it is what it is... I'm considering hiring a pro to shoot it to make it look good. Anyhoo, here it is!...
