Nice ride, but I too think that the pinstriping takes away from the original lines... If you like them, that's what counts!

Not fully liking the pinstripes (can't exactly place why though!) ... otherwise car is looking awesome Your headlights are far more clear than they should be at that mileage ... lucky ... at 64K mine are fogging up something awful ...

The pinstripes make it look like the wrapped-in-string pork shoulder I've got marinating in my fridge right now.

Otherwise clean, and I really like that color. No need to bling out with the rims; just get some original Contour alloys off Ebay or the junkyard or somewhere; I bet you could find a nice set for cheap. But for the time being, I'd rather go steelies than keep those hubcaps on.

Throw a little spoiler on the trunk or something. Something subtle to dress it up a bit. Very clean though. These cars are natural beauties. No need for makeup.

I like the pinstripes in the front...but seems to get worse towards to back. Might be a good idea to lose them. Otherwise man...looks real clean. oh yea...get yourself some E1s

Ah I figured it out. You had .net in the url instead of .com






Looked a lot better without the stripes, IMHO.

I say part camera part weather. Navy Blue Metallic is a funny color like that. Mine has a purple hue at times in the right light, but I really like the color.

I think the stripes break up the natural lines of the car, don't need to be completly removed, just changed. Concider instead of dropping them down the bumpers, have them round off at the front of the hood and at the base of the trunk. Kinda like.....


I'll give you the benifit of the doubt and say that you plan on some nice rims in the future.
