Well, in the top pic, that car looks a whole lot shiner than the bottom pic. But the top car could have been shot with some clear over the factory paint to get that shine. Or that car has been block sanded and buffed out. I've seen that done on alot of grand nationals and monte SS's back in the day. Especially the black ones, they came out like a show paint job.

The bottom pic has more of a factory shine but I dont think thats a factory color.

Either way both cars look great!!

In my experience, lighting is everything. The top photo is a cloudy day, and if the bottom photo was on a sunny day, that color will definitely pop more. Having seen the factory one up close, I can attest that it is a lot brighter in person than the top photo would suggest. I would bet that those two cars would look very close if they were right next to each other.

However, I will say it looks better with the SS badge than the bowtie.
