Yes, that is correct. However, it just doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

I'm going to have to say, that your car will probably be laughed at in shows, unless the shows you go to in the area are into that sort of thing I guess.

When I think of show neons, I think of cars like Crystals and Chris's. They both grab a hell of a lot of attention at a show, and there's NOTHING over the top or tacky on them.

Chris's for example. His colors are purple, gold, and black. Everything flows from the wheels to the engine bay. Crystals, pink, black, and hemi orange. Everything is tied together.

Hell, krackstars neon was HELLA over the top. 20" rims, lambos, air ride, tvs fucking EVERYWHERE. But it still looked good and clean, because he tied everything. Even SullyGullys neon. Rare ass body kit, air ride, 19" rims, and it still all flows.

I understand you want to "stand out" at shows. But you're going to be standing out in all the wrong ways. Someones going to see the clash of an interior, come over, tell his buddies, and have a good laugh. I thought it was kinda cool/funny at first until you said you're building a "serious" show car. I mean no disrespect by any of this, but I kinda want to show you the other side of things.

Honestly, if I were at a show and saw you're car, I'd be that guy that takes pictures, comes to 2gn and posts about it for everyone to have a good laugh. Take my opinion for what you will however, and do as you see fit.

i decide to use another members idea of making a list of stuff to complete, this is just the interior that needs to be wrapped, the X'd off stuff is done, i would say im close to half done.

You suck.

But really, I hate your interior. It's not a joke, it's just fugly. But like Josh says, you are the only person who has to like it.

I loved your silver car before, waiting to see new pics after progress.
