I throw out my opinion. I sit here with my 12 year old son looking at your car. With all the little black pieces. He loves it, says he wouldn't change a thing. I however think it looks a little childish. NOT dissing your ride, just not my style or the way I would of went with it. Take hpwrestlers220's advice.

Do itttttt

Laser red with black looks awesome if you haven't noticed by now. I've been happy ever since I murdered my car out.
Always thought I was never a big fan of red cars. Yours looks freaking bad A$$.

What is that black rubbery stuff that everybody seemed to be talking about a few months ago... spray can like paint, but you could paint over it and then peel it off later if you didn't like the look (supposedly with no ill effects even).
If that stuff is as good as they were saying, you could put that on and play with different color schemes to see if you really did like the reality as much as the theory. I have thought of doing that to my car for a different look, but haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

that would be plasti-dip. You can pick it up at Lowes or home depot... I just did my wheels and they look so much better... not sure about painting over the dip to play with colors though? May work?

Back in the plasti-dip threads they were talking about it. May have to do a quick search for that and see again...

haha well thanks for the feedback myGT03! I appreciate it

This is the style/color scheme I was kinda trying to duplicate because I LOVE the red and black 1971 Mach 1's >>>

(notice how it has the black on the hood, black spoiler, black decals on the sides, black chin spoiler, louvers, black grille)
