Looking at the latest, seems to me the rake on the windshield isn't steep enough. Pushing it back enough to get rid of the vent windows will radically change, well, everything.
Oh, I know. I'm just sayin'...

What about this one???
Lamborghini : Gallardo:eBay Motors (item 260478121463 end time Sep-23-09 11:16:19 PDT)
You gotta admit, every line is fully revealed - no muddy waters here.
(The pictures on eBay look much better, you'll see!  )

That particular color doesn't really move me. But I'll take a look into what else they've got. Thanks.

I think this whole paint thing is gonna be shot back and forth to death. The best thing I can do right now, is to select a color that helps the lines, is not too dark and go with my gut.

DEMON Needs A HUGE Favor!!
Here's the deal. I've located an F430 diffuser, but it's in Los Angeles - not exactly down the street from me. The guy refuses to box it and ship it and will only sell me the part if someone picks it up. I don't have any connecs in LA, so if anyone can grab the part, just PM me. You will be compensated for your time.

Whatever you do, it will be great. Here's a shot of an Alfa color that accentuates the stock body lines.

Thanks for your vote George. But I'll have to agree with Short. It's too light for the DEMON. I'll probably go darker with metallic rather than pearl and stick with grey.

In Other News...
Do we here at Team DEMON keep getting ripped or what?  Lexus' new super car, (LF-A) sports a previous DEMON exhaust tip concept at the Ring.
In the DEMON'S case, the best exhaust tip, is none at all!!

What is going on at Lexus and Acura? They've never been world beaters in styling, but the new stuff is way down. That LF-A is weird, and I just saw a new Acura TL and about threw up. It looks like a Bangle Bimmer on a really bad acid trip getting mugged at a pimp convention.
