Default Went with PW1 stone white on my hatch - tell me what ya think

I was worried the color would look weird, but I think its hot, I'm really happy the way it turned out! The before pictures are with the orig paint from '93.

Before:




After:



Notice the emblems and shaved rear lock







I bought the car as a bone stock CX last fall and I fully transformed the suspension, brakes,drivetrain and just finished off with the body and paint. What should I do next? Tell me what you guys think of the color, I hope you like it.

You should have painted the side skirts, while you were at it. The next mod should be a passenger side mirror and an ex/si front lip

I didnt want to paint the side skirts, I kinda like the black. I dont really need or want a pass mirror, but I like the idea of the Si lip.

From looking at the pics it looks like I need to paint my wiper arms and black trim. Also, I need to raise the hood up a little to meet the fender.

its a chrysler color - stone white PW1. i see it on alot of PT cruisers and 300Cs haha

I'm no photographer, but the color is way different. I'll turn up the resolution and take some better pics.

i didnt think about the front license plate holes.. thats a good idea!

I was thinking along those lines. A wire tuck/engine bay clean up wouldn't be a bad idea.
