Few questions before I refinish my car.

Well, the school year has been broken in and soon I will be doing my car at school (im in a body class). anyhow, i have already discussed the color and decided to keep it because of its rarity (gunmetal grey). but i had some more questions. how do you guys think it would look with no door moldings? also, black headlight pockets? and i was thinking of getting rid of the striping along the bottom and painting the gfx the same color instead of charcoal. heres a couple pics.

o yea, and i was also thinking of getting hatch louvers and a heritage striping kit in either silver or black...opinions? also, the third brake light will not be there. i know im forgetting something i will remember later. if you guys have any pictures for influence or any ideas you would like to enlighten me with, please do. thanks a lot.

i dont see much wrong with your car looks great all you really would need to do is just take off the moldings, tint the windows really dark and some nice shoes for it

First off I love my rims. Second the driver door has like half a baseball sized dent along the molding, and the pass side door has the same thing, but two of em. they are both creased under the mirrors. the pass side mirror is dented. the gfx and front bumper are cracking along with like a little valley in the front of the front bumper. and also there are various other small dents around the car and areas with no clear and/or touch up paint. so i figured I might as well fix all that at once and lightly hit the whole car. plus i like the idea of the single color no striping.

I'd get hood blisters (as opposed to the hood louvers). Then paint the ground effects and call it a day. Sharp looking car for sure.

thats fine. um, i dont like blackouts if thats what you are talking about. im not really that big on tint either. and i think i like the louvers better than the blisters. i forgot to mention that i wanted that "camaro" style grille on the front. and i will probably remove the plate on the front gfx and fill in the holes that were drilled there. thanks for all the input guys.
