It's called Tunnel Ram Grey Metallic by Hot Rod Flatz. I painted it myself it turned out okay (pretty forgiving), I like stuff pretty plain but surprising enough people seem to like it? At car shows people are always rubbing their hands across it.

Thanks. Any tire rub? Or, did you modify the fenders (roll the fender lips)?

No I have no clearance issues I used a 1979 trans am rear axle so it is just a little narrower than the original 1/2 inch I believe but no issues

Great. Thanks for the info. I'm using a stock axle so maybe a bit wide. Looking at 235/70/15 on 15x7 wheels.
