Are you ready.......
I like the tailights, But I think painting the entire sail panels is a bit overkill.....The blue on the dash not working for me, I think If I had to do it, it would have been silver or red, something that matches the color of the car a bit more, I love that it's knuberized.
The girl in the back seat is definately thinking "Daddy, please take take a picture of me in your car again"....
I know, thats what Amber used to tell me all the time....

I'd kill someone if they ran into my bumper like that!  I actually like the sail panels. The blue is pretty cool, too. A lot of times you'll see blue painted dashes, but usually on a blue or silver car (from what I've seen) Not so far off from Silver, eh? Looks good!

To me it's over kill, I could see oing the outline, or just the middle, but the whole thing just looks weird to me.
If you like it...DO IT!

To each his own.
What's "wrong" IMHO is that the sail panels and side mirror mounts are dark to visually extend the shape of the side windows (or, make the A and C pillars appear thinner). Just like the way the rear doors have a large overlap to make the rear door openings appear larger than they really are. It's a visual trick that the designers felt was necessary, and I tend to agree.
Function before fashion.

I think it looks great, everything. My only opiion would be different color for interior plastic that was painted, but whatever. Other then that, looks sharp. Fix that bumper yo!

Thanks everyone. My bumper was nailed by a drunk driver, i just have to find time to fix it, having house and children time for the car is scarce. The blue dash was the only color i really liked when i went to look for paint. Plus i figured it matched well with the blue lights and what not.
I think that sail panels look good, i also considered painting the side mirrors same color? I wanted to get rid of all the black on the car, have it all one color.
Think i should paint mirrors to match?
