     :iagree:  That does look very cool . . . but I think the difference is that car has a white interior.  I think any car that has a white interior should have white accents.  The only one that would be difficult on would be the AAR and T/A . .

    Shweet!    :ylsuper:   Great looking car.   I know you will have a ball driving around in it...   As for the white billboards, there are some here that can photoshop them onto your car and you can compare them side-by-side.  Then you might want to poll the folks with both pics....     :cooldancing:    ...Oldschool

    Thats true, never noticed it had white interior. But I guess if his car originally came black interior white billboards it would be personal preference. Either way, its a dang nice care.  :thumbsup:

    Appreciate all the kind words!!  I saw that picture of the white billboard/interior car and just love it.  The interior that is in this car is actually out of a different car that will be put back together next year so I will have to make a decision at that point.  This car came with a std interior, not leather.   I have thought about putting a white interior in this car at that time. 

    Talk about strange timing, about 2 hours after I posted this the guy who built the motor called out of nowhere.  He built the motor for his buddy, who ran out of money.  He was in Texas, had it on Ebay, at the time, my buddy was looking for a motor, he bought it and had it shipped to NJ.  This was about a year ago.  I ended up buying it from him and picking it up at Carlisle last summer.  Neither of us "know" the guy who built the motor outside of phone conversation.  He called me out of nowhere today out of curiousity if I had ever had the car out yet.  Super nice guy, talked for about 45 minutes.  Talking about his job at Roush/Yates.  Said if I ever had any issues with the motor, send it to him and he would cover it.  How cool is that, guy is 25 years old.  Had not talked to him in probably 9 months.  The motor was $3500, which really isn't too bad considering the power it makes, what is in it, with new MSD distributor etc..  Just got keep looking for the deals!!

    Car looks great! White would be awesome if you decided to go back to a billboard stripe.

    Great looking car! I like the white billboard also. What about a red billboard? Just thought I'd throw that out there.

    Our cars are somewhat similar...black cudas with Keisler 5 speeds and B body Danas. We used the same ignition, and mounted it in the same place.

     :thumbsup:

     :naughty: I really like your car.  I've always liked all black cars but I know that is hard to keep them looking nice. Dust, road grime and waxing swirls make it the hardest color to make look great.  But if you do everything right it just reaches out and grabs you.  In your case you have a real eye grabbing as well as slick driving car.  I defer to your gut feeling because you've done such a great job but the way it looks now is classic in my eyes :picture:

    This site sucs!!!  LMAO  all you guys post is stellar looking cars.. make me SICK!!!!!   :roflsmiley:

    N96 - congrats.. you now own one of the nicest cars in the world. If pics do that car justice.. there can't be many nicer. Man,,, if my cuda comes out 38% to your black paint job, I'd be REAL happy   :faint:

    Is that base / clear PPG? Can i ask ballpark for the body / paint?

    Anyways, you own an AWESOME car. I'd put that one against any I've seen. Well - there's CC.com's 2007's cover car.
