let me know what you think ,give me your ideas if you see something i should do diffrent

 

Eh. it will be flashy/r1cy IMHO but its your car.

I like the second one though, could look nice without the zigzag stripe at the end and maybe more contrasting colours? I dont know though do whichever you like best

 

the second pic looks great , but imo would look even better without the red on the ground effects. the first looks kinda 80's ish. but pic what pleases you the most.

 

its supose to look 80ish thats the look i am going after s/s crager wheels,bfg radial t/a , the window louvers, coul induction hood, old superior performance 500 wood stering wheel, hurst floor shifter mega shifter ect.

its a 1980's car and it should look like one if you got some ideas let me know if i missed anything

 

i like the 2nd one it gets my vote! 2 thumbs way way up! and what do you think about smoked side markers? would blend better.

 

Well it's your car but personally I don't think anything looks better than a nice solid color (no 2 or 3 tones), my philosophy on stripes and graphics is they were big in the late 60s, 70s and started getting toned down in the 80s and if you ask me why is most cars of the 60s and 70s were pretty ugly and throwing stripes and graphics on them made them look a little better and when the 80s rolled around cars were starting to look better and they started to realize they didn't need the stripes. In my opinion the best looking 3rd gens are 91-92s where they had no stripes or graphics at all I don't know I guess they just look cleaner.

 

i like the second one the best too,smoked markers would look great ,defiantly will do that
