LOL...
in most cases, I am over stripes. But to be honest, for some reason, I think it does add an element of interest to the car.

That car is absolute perfection, but to be honest, I'd rather start bare and have built it myself to look how I want. This is someone else's project...BUT, at least it was well done to begin with. From the stance to the rims to the turbo and paint...the thing is pretty flawless and gorgeous.

Chris, figured as much. At least the last guy gave you a good place to start making it yours since it already looks amazing.

Well, given what you did with a blank canvas of the TL, I look forward to the changes coming for the Me Ya Ta.

Well, if it's black on black then I'm sure it'll look great. Worst case, you can always vinyl wrap with gloss black and nobody would likely even know it's not color matched...

I think the NA is the best out of the three, because its sooooo simple and small. Ahhh...I want one. Theres a black one down the street that never moves.

I'm waiting for the "For Sale" sign....seriously.
