Your buddy and bro-in-law have completely different cars so I wouldnt worry so much about that. I understand where you are coming from though, I purposely didnt buy a silver painted Harley because my brother had one, but those all look very similar. In the end, if its what you wanted, then do it and dont worry about anyone else. I think it looks damn good.

Yes I know. The fact that they painted there cars the new SRT grey shouldn't mean I can't paint mine the new Ford Sterling grey. Ok what do you think about racing stripes on it? Maybe in titanium grey?

I love stripes that dont jump out at you. When they are a shade or two lighter or darker than the car, then . Of course, this is just my opinion.

Thats exactly what I am thinking and if the stripes had ghost flames in them that were only seen in the right light I would possibly take my car to car shows.

Just dont go overboard to the point of being gaudy... What about ghost stripes? Then if you later wish you didnt have stripes, they wont be that noticeable anyway.

The reason I must paint my car. I took the fiberglass doors off my car so I'm back to steel ones. Wrong color. My hood blew off at the races so new hood is black. I don't want to drive a multi colored car.

I cant believe my buddy got this picture as it was happening.

That is sweet but thats something that people would remember and the sound of my car draws enough attention to it I don't need the look of it doing the same.

I have always wanted the lariat limited f150 because of its pearl white. It is not a color for my car though. Thx for the suggestion.

A guy posted this Mustang. It's almost exactly what I imagine my car looking like. My only issue is I have a buddy with a grey 72 cuda and a bro-inlaw with a grey 68 dart.

Those are my rims and everything. Gauges on cowl panel.

I would want black body molding and sail panels. Right now I don't have my spoiler on my car. I could put it back on though. I always wanted a 93 cobra wing.

Yes those are low mufflers. I think they may scrap a few speed bumps.
