Black is a bitch to keep clean, I found that out the hard way. Get a metallic red with some silver racing stripes. That would look tight [worship]

I love black but they are right, you have to be a clean freak for it to look sick all the time. I had to wash my baby twice a week and had to carry around buffer rags to get off road grime when I would cruise. But hey, beauty has a high price... Now I have a red car [patriot] [burnout]

I believe [worship] Henry Ford said it best "Nothing looks better then Black". Or something like that...nothing is more beutiful the black. Something like that, LOL [Big Grin] .

Go with black. It might be the hardest to keep clean, but when it is. Nothing looks better. Also get chrome rims.

That's what I wanted to do with a notch but I couldn't find one. All emblems/handles/protrusions/etc shaved, limo tint all the around, with dark tinted head/tail lights.

I think it would look funny on my vert, so it stays stock looking.

first 5.0 was midnight blue, second was white, third was bahama blue, 93 cobra is red...my favorite in hindsight was the white one. white 5's are sick, mine was dropped 2 inches, welds, and a saleen wing. looked tight i thought. i wanted to paint the third one charcoal gray metallic (think its an 88 color) but i didnt want to pop my hood and see blue everywhere. dont get black unless you want to see dust a half hour after you wash it, or if you want to see every single ding. black is very unforgiving if your car isnt "straight"....good luck to you.
