First, try uploading your picture to
http://www.photobucket.com and linking the picture from there. We can't see a picture you link directly from your computer. Also post some pictures of your car. That will help people make recommendations.

Though it doesn't look bad like that, I would say color match it.

I'm sorry, but shouting and an apparent lack of puncutation makes me not want to pay attention, what did you say?

paint it or a mob will show up at your door and beat you to within a inch of your life...

I like people who BUY a 10 sec car and then brag about it. Thats like hiring someone to bang your wife and then bragging about the kid

I don't think it looks bad in black since it doesn't contrast much. Leave it like that if you want. *gets clubbed by angry 2gn.org members*
A carbon fiber hood would help it blend better if you left it black. If you are going to paint it now is the time while it is off your car.

You keep mentioning that but I'm really confused... no offense to Sean, he has a nice clean neon, I'm just not sure what you're drawn to about his car specifically? It has a silver lip kit that matches his car and is lowered on pt cruiser wheels. Could you elaborate?

haha I'm not hating, I'm just curious! there's plenty of people here that hate my car so it's all good. on the other hand, at least girls don't know any better and think it's something special with the lip/stripes/exhaust ...same with little kids and ricers.

as soon as the stripes went on, "wow, nice car!" which is kind of annoying. oh well I guess I should expected that. [/rant]

I know I'm just messin with ya man. You'd be amazed at how many people tell me they love my car, I don't get it. It's lowered, with a lip kit, PT wheels, projectors, 3d tails and that's it for the exterior really... but people dig it.
So I won't complain but just say thanks when they tell me that, haha.
