#1 classic clean lines with even the basic of flat colors would make the car stand out from the crowd. the 1 out of 6 that with a few mods would guarantee publication if the car were clean.



2 is alright but the black gfx really accent an already taller vehicle then most making the car look lifted. it's alright but not my first choice.

3 is almost as nice as 1 but the color is too bright....brighter then the rest of the car making it really stand out more then it should looking like it was done down the road....not always good.

4 is good but it's too common. it basically looks like you've had the car for awhile and decided to throw some anniversary stripes on it to spice things up. it's ok and clean but short of fantastic.

5 isn't bad, same as 4 but the color stands out so much nicer giving the car an appearance of it's own. without the matching gfx like no.1 though it still looks like something you did to cover up or update your look. not really custom but better then stock.

6 the color is just too bright...overpowers the car.

im gonna be the odd ball and say i like 2. The car would have to be lowered but the way the gfx are on that car from the front it wouldnt make it look much higher. And when i saw it instantly in my head clicked wow that looks like a race car.

I like the two silver racing stipes with red skirt. White looks too plasticky, and black stripes just dont look that great...as for the painted skirt....I think in that pic, the silver skirt with silver stripes actually looks good. but in real life, if you see the car from the side, it probably wouldnt look that great. just my opinions though.....anyone of them would look fine

#5. I've never seen silver on the orange before. Looks good. Not as common as the white and black.
