I kinda like your car in primer :thumbup:

I'm not into two-tones, but I'd like to see this done.

Two tone won't look too bad that way follow the arc on the fender to the body line.

I'm terrible at chops so I'm useless but it would look good IMO. Use Inferno Red Pearlcoat as the stripe color.

ive seen cars with black, silver, and red pinstripe.
i want to do something no one has done, i think it would look clean and simple, red is a bit too flashy for what im going for.

Nope there ebay specials modified, and the tails will be a darker red and wheels will get a few more coats of white later on. i love the white wheels and they really pop against the flat black, ill be putting a red pin stripe on the lip to match the red calipers and tails and red demon eyes. I may even do some red pin stripe on the hood & deck lid, but i have to finish my flat black interior first. More pics later on
