Looks good, ever since I saw black on black like that I loved it.

By the way, I had to check your zip code on your profile just to make sure....I couldn't imagine anywhere else but south Florida where you could own a pink house

In all seriousness though, nice ride.
Thankyou.

And btw, its TAN...not pink.

Looks good although I'm surprised you went w/ black since you have some other chrome/polished pieces on the car, would think a silver stripe would be more inline w/ the rest of the car.
I was going to go with metallic silver stripes, but I spent SO much money on chrome rims and the door handles etc, I didn't want the stripes to take away from all that.

Stripes are a huge factor on first glances. I picked matte black because its subtle and it won't take away from the rest of my "look" but still be there.

Roush louvers are the best looking ones out there on the market. The only downside is that they don't go with any side scoops. So if you get them, don't bother with sidescoops.
