    I'd go with whatever you like best. You have to live with it. Who cares what other people think. It's your car. Do it the way you like it. Just my 02....

    they all sound good to me, dark blue and black are harder to keep clean but if you dont mind the work it is PRETTY... hehe

    James; good to hear from you again! Any one of the color schemes sounds good, but I like the flat black with silver. Just the chrome bumpers and trim would set it off nicely. Take care, and don't be a stranger!

    Thanks, Earl and Jamie I've just been real busy of late, building and perfecting the new prototype hardees been a real headache. The first on was really bad, We changed alot with the secound one and it went alot smoother.
