    I like the looks of the mustang idea but......That stripe goes all the way to the windshield, you have a problem here in that once you leave the hood you leave the CF also. JMO but I would be more for the grabber stripes being left CF and if you wanted it to kind of go together the body shop could blow a little blue candy over it to give you blue CF Grabber stripes in your sea of Grabber blue. By the way your car is looking AWESOME!!!!!

    Some decal companies might be able to recreate the CF look enough to blend in the cowl area if you wanted to go that route, otherwise, I don't think it would look bad with the cowl left body color.

    Less than a month ago the car was driven to the body shop. Since then it has been disassembled, media blasted, painted, now being put back together. This is awesome!!!

    The car is looking great! I can't wait to see it all together. Grabber Blue sure seems to be popular on here, and it is obvious why lol

    Thanks for your help Frank. We got a lot done today. We put more pieces in the trash can than we put on the car...but stuff happens. Look on the bright side...at least I don't have to clean off the overspray. Getting the doors hung and adjusted was the hard part...it's all downhill from here.

    Thanks again for making the 100+ mile round trip and spending the day giving me a hand putting this thing back together

    Looking good, Jeff. (y)
    I see you guys opted for the passenger side economy A/C option.
