what u all think

When i first repainted my car. I did the gfx's , hood grills ,and headlight pockets silver. But did not really like it. So but the gfx's to white. pockets to black . and getting a 2 inch cowl hood. But now that i'm looking at the pics i kinda liked it. Just not that silver. what do u all think.

not to hot on the silver, i would paint the spoiler louver and pockets and then the gfx would look ok silver. spoiler i would go body color.

add some original rims at the least, those are crying for attention.

hmm, dont like the silver all together. Black headlight pockets are the only way to go imo. I dont really like 2 tone paint, not to offend anyone. and as for the wheels but if your strapped for cash, then just polish those *****, they is dirrrrty.

lol them wheels are in the trash. Just had them on there to paint the car. This is the car how it sits now. But just thinging of something else i could do .. every one (allmost) has the back headlight pockets.. Not leaving the stock rims there just on for now. Have not figured out what ones to buy yet. But I don't know they are going to be a 5 star.

I think the silver on the louvers and buckets would have to be much darker to look really good but, i dont know?

I like the blue better than the silver . The silver looks to light .
I like to see that blue gfx, done witha yellow car if ya can do it with your touch pad.

I agree with the idea of the darker silver gfx but I would go black with the GFX or tie in the interior color somehow. The spoiler needs to be white like the car, silver looks ugly and thats not something I think should be highlighted on the car.

Red doesn't seem that appealing to me. Maybe black trims around the headlights/on the hood with red gfx could look good. I've seen the same thing done but with blue and it looked pretty nice.

The red version would be cool if it was flat red rather than a glossy red.
