What was I thinking? I got a wild hair and striped my car. Please tell me I didn't pimp my ride! Actually I think it looks good. But I really liked it all black. What was I thinking?

Somebody tell me it's okay... [Eek!]

AFTER:

You'll see this car at the APEX CAR SHOW!!! Tell me if you love it or hate it.

Like paint scheme, like the old Hertz Shelby's. Not a fan of the lights though

Posted by Jmir018 (Member # 1414) on :

looks good.. but sorry i like the before picture better...

Posted by CLEEN 50 (Member # 5867) on :

IMHO opinion I think that grill looks like shit. It looks like it was cut all uneven. I think Tan is the worst color for a top and even worse for stripes. Cool rims though. [patriot]

Oh shit! I saw your car right before it got painted. It was painted at the shop right behind the building I work at. Looks good!

Posted by BCINGUU (Member # 2397) on :

Thanks! Well, I got two yes votes so far. I guess that's something...

Come on people! Don't be hating. Show me some love! [Razz]

j/k, let me know what you think seriously, I don't even know myself if I like it yet.

the chicken mesh has gotta go, the stripes match the top and the interior so thats kinda cool

Posted by BCINGUU (Member # 2397) on :

I hear ya, several people have told me that already today. Didn't look too bad with all black but doesn't go with gold. I'll replace that tonight.

HEY BRO I LIKE THE BEFORE PIC WAY BETTER SORRY [patriot]

Posted by CLEEN 50 (Member # 5867) on :

damn why didn't you completely take off that luggage rack [Eek!]

Posted by BCINGUU (Member # 2397) on :

Oh man, I did pimp my ride didn't I. I'm going to be ashamed now.

Not really. I like it. Seriously, thanks for all the feedback, I appreciate knowing what people think. But I'm going to keep on liking it! It's bold and different. I would never have gone with gold except I like by brown interior/top color scheme and I think it looks way better matching than if I had done another color.

Speak up people, give it to me straight!

Posted by Avengeance (Member # 5163) on :

I like the before much better. The tan color top wouldnt have been my choice either... but it would look 10xs better if the stripes matched the top color, or if there wasnt the stripes at all. I dont like the wire grills either.... they need to be at least painted black if you leave them on IMHO.

Although.. if you like it... fuck what we think, right? [patriot]

Posted by 92stangLX (Member # 3252) on :

Clean car man! However, I do like the before picture better. The strips are cool but I think the gold color stands out a bit too much.

I would definitely remove the mesh from the bumper and scoop

[patriot]

I think it looked better before, but at least no one got hurt and you still have your health [Big Grin]

Posted by Red00GT (Member # 5653) on :

Posted by BCINGUU (Member # 2397) on :

Ok, I fixed the grille, here's a pic. Thanks everyone for the comments, positive and negative. Check it out in person and see what you think - at least now you'll know my car when you see it!

Posted by uh0h50 (Member # 3125) on :

damn man, i really like the old look better. i'm glad i got to see it in person before u changed it.. but it's all good, all that matters is that you like it.. by the way, i'm lovin my pro5.0.. take care.

Posted by sic5pointSLOW (Member # 5889) on :

i think it looks coo. i do the same things to my car. always looking do change things on my car. did u end up using those gears that u got from me?

Posted by BCINGUU (Member # 2397) on :

Yup, those 3.27 gears are in this car and they are great for a daily driver. Installed by JohnB! [worship]

Posted by shiftylx (Member # 2670) on :

its all about whether you like it or not....

but i'll do it anyways....
shoulda stayed with a black top, ditch those headlights, they make the front of the car look way too busy with the grill cutout and the stripes, just get some new replacement ones.
stripes i don't really mind, but why the hell did you leave half the luggage rack on and paint over it??
that is the worst part of the car imo.

but, again, it's your car, fuck what we say [patriot]

Posted by Cobra5.0Jeep (Member # 1482) on :

I like the strips. [patriot]

Posted by bunchmyfunky (Member # 360) on :

The grill and the wheels have to go.

Posted by Jmir018 (Member # 1414) on :

oh no.. i just noticed the front lights.. [Frown]

If you are happy that's all that matters.

Posted by Hungry Hippo (Member # 537) on :

i cant say one looks better than the other. the stripes fit the look well though. i'm just not a fan of hood scoops, but that wasnt part of the question

Posted by z pyro (Member # 3745) on :

1 vote for Fugly!

Posted by green_fow_six (Member # 6063) on :

Looks a lot better without the chrome grills. Maybe get rid of the clear corner lights. Looks good though.

Posted by BlackNGold (Member # 655) on :

Mmm, I like it!!!....But, then again what's my screen name?....hehe

Don't like the lights or the non-functional hood scoop, but I like the wheels, vert top and the strips look REALLY cool....

Don't build your car for someone else, build it for you!...There will always be someone faster and beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

COOL STANG!.. [patriot]

Posted by Bizob (Member # 3768) on :

looks good, but i think the all black theme was sick. Like the post before mine beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if your happy with it thats all that matter [patriot]

Posted by slidewayz94 (Member # 3101) on :
