You have aftermarket color with more pearl. You're disqualified JT, that's no longer OEM Laser Blue lol
 
thats already in the works ;), but i still like the OEM tails as well
I like the OEM. I like how the JDM's light up on the bottom and the lines flow with the body, yet I got the tint and clear just right on my tails and can't part with them.

Here are some of my fave shots

Still has a hint of laser blue.. its just tweaked enough to be different.

and if my after market paint/clear does not count.. your aftermarket clear does not count.. ;)

Azuelke: which brand of paint is that? i want to do my mp3s in that color.

Started off with 2 coats of black plasti-dip, followed by 2 coats of Valspar gold, followed by 2 coats of Valspar gloss clear. I'll take a pic of the cans after work. The gold was extremely metallic and had a lot of flake in it, until I put clear on them and it killed that pop, which is what I was hoping for.

There was also a satin and matte finish gloss, I thought of doing matte, but I wanted to get as close to the sticker on my back as possible.
 
The Cooling System at 100%.

Checking For Leaks

Making sure that the system will not create cavitation in the coolant.
