Too ricey?

When i had an Ls a friend and i painted the car in this color scheme.....

i was wondering if i should do the same to my SS W/ white. Im really uneasy about painting .. because is prolly one of the most permanent things you could ever do.

not a fan, different isn't always good.

Sometimes you gotta let the car's body lines work on their own.

If the silver wasn't there and the car was dropped it would look decent.

Its a scheme & I don't think it was too much for the car, if it were lowered in the pics it would look much better.

yo dude. i think me and you are the same person because we have the same opinions about everything...


i think its one of those things that look good in some angles, and not so good in others. you know what i mean. maybe if it was a different color? i would like it more?

if you remove the lines under the headlights it would look much better with the lines on the hood imho

I would never rock a windshield banner advertisement unless I was getting a lot of compensation for it.

The black headlights contrast the paint too much. If the headlights were silver it would "flow" better.
