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!]

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!

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.

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!

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]

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
