its a pearl white with a gold tinge or something like that, its a carbon fiber roof that was custom made for the car. It was the only thing i wasn't sure about when i brought the car in but i think it came out real nice

Love that color, wish i could paint my G dont think the time attacks really flow well with the paint job. Many other wheels that would better compliment the laguna seca color, to give a overall better flow to the G.The similar looking but deeper blue color on the Audi S4s are nice also!

Speaking of factory colors, anyone see a G painted the Cadillac Escalade Cream White? think that would look nice?


P.S. @ Wongy, Love the pearl white also! nice custom paint job

Wongy...nice ride. your painters seem to know exactly how to get the job done right. Usually when I get paint jobs done I strip the car complete of interior, glass and sand it down to bare metal. The carbon fiber roof mod is very unique. For a second I thought your G was Mark Wasser's from T-Emotion

i just had a look at marks G, and it would be easy to have thought that we had the same G. i love his fenders, was actually thinking of getting a pair but the wait from japan was too long as i couldn't find anyone who had em in stock. Cheers for the props though mate

I actually own the bodyshop that did the work on Wongys G....The paint is a custom blend white with a gold pearl...the carbon fiber roof was custom fabricated just for his car..In addition to those few items we shaved his door handles, installed a pop kit, molded his side skirts, tinted his tails, powder coated his wheels a custom color and coated his calipers.....The photos do not do the car justice...It is a must see in person ride.
Wongy came to me with a vision of what he wanted his car to look like, my partner Larry and I took Wongys vision and expanded on it....The end result is stellar to say the least.
We specialize in custom, but will fix anything..In addition to paint, we do custom interiors and have a complete accessory center that carries everything from bodykits to wheels, from exhaust to mobile electronics.
I am sure Wongy would agree that our bodyshop is probably the nicest and largest in the country...we have an indoor car showroom with revolving inventory...currently on display we have a F430 Spyder, a 05 Ferrari Scagliette, a 98 Viper GTS, a 05 Viper srt and an 06 Bmw 645.

Michael, I hope you are as happy with your car as I am.

Regards
Ron

ps...your bmw cover shipped today
