I'm serious!!! How, after seeing the two right next to each other like that, can you still believe it looks good?????


Without the cheetah it wouldn't look too bad, but the two right next to each other... I just threw up a lot in my mouth.

I understand you think it looks good, I'm trying to understand why you think such a huge clash flows with the car and looks good...

to me, and everyone I've asked about it, it looks horrible, so what is it that makes you believe it looks good?

:shock:

If it was just plaid, I'd actually think it'd look quite good. You had the dedication to wrap EVERYTHING at least.

However, you took two of the most clashing patterns possible and put them together… It just doesn't work so well.

For the love of all things good and holy, take out the cheetah and go JUST plaid.

Pretty please?

well i popped in my old plaid panels, and i think it looks terrible, i agree that all plaid would look. good and the purple cheetah doesn't look the greatest.

but this looks terrible.

do you guys mean all black plaid? and because you asked so nicely josh, i might change it up mid season, it will all be getting redone next season for sure.

Make all the plaid match, and it would look better is what we're saying. Use the same plaid for it all.

Really, i'm not here to be a dick :lol:
I'm trying to help you along with your projects and give you the perspective of a non-neon owner.

So i'm glad you're at least considering removing the Cheetah, and yes, stick with the exact same fabric throughout the whole car. Not much else goes with plaid, outside of more plaid
