That looks incredible! Are you going to put the decals back on?

I am debating the side stripes and the rear spoiler sticker at the moment ...just not sure

Wow that is a real beaut . Really either would great But if I had to choose a little more black on it would make the yellow pop more but that just me.

Hey Steve
WOW, stunning, what a transformation, brings me back to my rebuild years back now. Makes me wish I had gone with my original plan, a yellow Spyder, but alas, i thought I was saving a few bucks sticking to black (the original colour) which really wasn't the case. Oh well, it's done and I love my Spyder. I did look great after the repaint, just a black beauty but the Spyder decals just gave it extra pop and gave it a whole new identity (OK, hard to explain, lol). Just my opinion, I'd go with the decals but the yellow with black accents is an awesome, head-turning look.
Cheers!

It really is stunning as it sits. You could even go with some rare side spyder scrips from a 'Z01 only' spyder. that would be a cool touch.

I like the side mirrors in black myself.
That completes the blacked out "this is the special racing version" effect.

The headlight pockets blacked out would look cool along with a hood decal.

I can see the hesitation though. Looks great as it sits

show me a pic of t he rare Z01 side stripes please

i like both the body color and the Black ........i have a spare set of mirrors that one day may paint black ,at this time though it is staying as is

I am not 100% happy with the paintwork on the nose ,If i re do it i will paint the buckets black !

hood spyder will never go on the car ,I am however in discussion with a fibreglass guy about making up a bolt on reverse scoop for the car
and thanks ,means a lot to me as most people over here have no idea what the car is !

The side script Marco is talking about is not a decal, it's an emblem. Looks like the script on the side stripe but much smaller. http://monza.homestead.com/Spyders.html near the top of the page.
