Thanks. I really wasn't sure about the color at first, but it has grown on me. I do have to say that the interior is still kinda "bleh". The leather seats are too light, in my opinion. I am thinking of finding someone to re-upholster them, in two tone Black/Black Cherry to match the exterior. Any thoughts on that?

Was debating on getting the re-upholster to something like this, but matching the exterior paint for the red parts:

If you do go for it straight, and you can keep the Shinka covers intact, they might be worth something here or on eBay.

That could look VERY slick, but again I'd suggest working from a regular set of seats rather than the precious Shinka's. You shouldn't have much trouble finding somebody happy to swap you his 2-tone or all-black leather for what you have. Plus you'd only have to replace the colored sections of leather.

That color was unique to the Shinka, but is now an available option. The center portions on the stock covers, though, are smooth leather rather than the perforated suede.

Not an 8, but some guy(early 20's?) in an old, nasty looking neon gave me the bird and I drove past him on Indian School. He took the lane to Grand Ave.
So this leaves me confused...I didn't cut him off, I didn't even notice him until he did what he did...
OOOOH riiiiight! Jealousy...

I can't wait! I drop it off tomorrow morning and I'll get it back at the end of the day. I decided to remove ALL of the rear ones, and I'm leaving the front one because it looks do desolate without it up there

Update...got rained out. The guy said we have to wait for the weather to clear up until we can debadge the car. I think I'm going to go for tint instead now. Anyone know good places? I'm going limo on the back, and rear doors. And 18% on the front doors. I know it's illegal...
And Jeff if you're watching this. My body guy said he definitely used the same paint, and that he's going to buff it out a little more. I said ok because he's putting forward to effort to right it. And if the finished product doesn't come out right, then I'm going to ask him to just repaint the whole bumper again.
Wow do you know how awesome that would be?? I believe I would be the fastest 8 on the road with that 454, on a straight line. Now in the twisties...that's humorously questionable.

Oh AND I saw a...I believe it was a Nordic Green on 18th St. and Camelback. We were at the same stop light and I believe he looked back in his mirror at mine.

Spotted Titanium Grey (I believe that was the color). We were both running west on Glendale. You let me merge in front of you after 7th street, and you ran with your fog lights on (+5). And we were bothing look at this:
