im lovin the FORMULA 350 down the side and the Firehawk wheels, but the pinstripe looks out of place. you should remove it if its not painted on. that is a sweet car tho man!

the pinstripe, and wheelwell/fender moulding were there when I got the car. I want to remove them but the glue for the trim is rock hard. Dont think I could get it off. Also I think the pinstripe would leave a different shade of white underneath

thanks for the compliments though

yeah i figured they were on there before you bought it. did you try taking a heat gun to it? judging by how clean your paint looks, i dont think it will leave a different shade of white behind. use Goo Gone to remove any glue left behind

Looks very nice. Get some 3/4 shots of the front and rear. Above shots would be cool too.

If you do try and remove the pinstriping, just be careful and maybe just try a little section first. When I removed mine off my old white RS, it peeled the clear with it, so it had the indents of where the pinstripes were. The paint was at least a few years old though.
