Okay guys, here's some pics of my car after getting it's final "wet sand". The color is called "Quicksilver Grey", and I'm very satisfied with the look. Many people who truly don't have a good eye claim it looks just like my stock grey, however I can tell the difference. I need to make a decision on rear moulding and rims in order to complete the look.

Thanks man. I was going to go with black but considering all the dirt out here in my region, I went against that plan. I think once I get rims it will really make things come together.

Looks great.

I too will (probably) lose the Ribbed For Your Pleasure mouldings when I get a repaint. The car looks mucho slimmer.

Looking GOOD! Now for some WW tires to set off the wire wheels, IMHO the only way to fly.

Yes, WW and the wires are cool, but, not really my style. I'm thinking of going up to 16's with AR-550's as my wheel of choice. I think those would be pretty cool on the Mark. Would 16's affect my speedo substantially?

Overall tire height is your only consideration. 16s with lower sidewalls and the same height won't mess with the speedo at all;)

Look fantastic!

And to sound like a broken record with the rest of the group, i'm definately losing the rubber moulding now!

Car looks great. Nice color! :cool:

Well, if you've been around here a while you know how I feel about the completely stock look. I'd put the stock moldings back and get some Michelin or Goodyear whitewalls for those spoked wheels. ;)

Yes, that's a look to respect for sure. However, I'm going for a more modern look on this car. With the tire/wheel issue, I have to choose carefully because the wrong combo could ruin the look I'm going for.
