As for the side markers, I already had the clear front side markers before the new paint.
Here is a "before" shot of my car where you can see the side markers.

Awesome color. I don't like the seat color. It doesn't match the blue. Go black or Yellow or Blue. The grey looks very odd and doesn't compliment your exterior blue color. YMMV

I already converted most of the interior to black while it was still silver (lower dash, door panels, center console) .... I will probably go all black on the rest eventually. I knew someone would say this eventually ... but I believe there is a law somewhere that states that you can't paint a chevy corvette a ford mustang color ... so to not be in violation of this law ... I went with a Jaguar color

not to be argumentative but that Petty blue looks a lot lighter in the pic (which could be off from the real thing) than the Petty blue that currently circulates on Nascar. maybe the one running the tracks today isn't the real one though.

Pretty color. I am a former Jaguar enthusiast. I owned an XK in Indigo Blue that I traded on my Carlisle Blue C6. Truth is, I don't miss the Jaguar. Although as you can see it was a beautiful car, I could not keep it out of the shop. Cost me thousands in repairs...

But, according to the story of the car in the pic I used:
"The 2009 Dodge Challenger was completely disassembled and painted the trademark Petty Blue"
But .... every time I take a picture of my car it looks like a different shade of blue.... Grabber and Petty blues also seem to vary a lot in pictures as well.... they are just hard colors to capture accurately in pics for some reason.

Not normally a fan of blue, some of them look great (Admiral blue for example), while most just look kinda boring. Your car is not one that is boring. That looks amazing.

Very nice! I love the combination of the blue with the grey Spyder wheels as well, that is such a great choice! I'm looking to move up to a C6 in the next year and I'm hoping to find one in LeMans blue and my plan is to get some grey Spyder wheels for it too. Where did you get yours? A lot of the vendors I've checked only sell them in black, silver or chrome, but not in competition grey.

Second ... your the first to mention the wheels.
I had 18/19 comp grey spyders on the car when it was sliver ... but I changed them to a 19/20 "spyder looking" Niche setup when I painted the car blue.
I will PM you the wheel info.
