Default What do you think?? Looks good?? Looks bad??

Planning on re-painting this spring. I love the look of the Grand Sport, so I figure I would do a little photoshopping. What do you think?? Does it look good?? Or like a cheap ripoff? (Original is in my sig)

No, not white. :) How about a deep silver, or slate gray?

Definitely white! Now just change your wheels to black GS wheels to complete the package! :yesnod:

I think black would look tough. Could you do a pic like that on mine to get a good look?

I vote no, but if I absolutely had to I would put a black GS stripe with black, or no hash's, and GS wheels

I like the white. The grey kind of looks like primer.

Good answer, but if you go through with it, I say stay with the white, but have black hash marks like Nat's.

Definitely gotta go with the GS wheels.

White is good. I remember seeing Cobras with the white on red scheme...looked cool. Lose the hash marks though.

CowboyNVette, your cars looks so good, I wouldn't do anything to it! I've been desiring a set of chrome sawtooths. :D

Wow.. Thanks for the feedback everyone. The white stripe has definately grown on me. I think a white GS stripe, with black hash marks (if I do hash marks) would be the best. Might look at doing blue hash marks as well.. it would be :flag .

Nat96LT4- I can certaily do one for you. Do you have a pic of your car that has a little more hood though?? Your pic is at an angle that you wouldnt really be able to see it all that much.

I would say leave it stock, it looks good as it is or do something else more custom besides trying to turn it into a wanna-be Grand Sport paint scheme. If you like the Grand Sport paint scheme then maybe you might look into getting into a real Grand Sport, but don’t be a wanna-be, get the original car, get the real thing!
