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?
