Well, I happen to like the ding guards. They work with the pin-stripe. Someone do a chop without the gaurds, just so that everyone can see how the car flows without them, and with the pin-stripe.
I love those wheels. Looks really good. I happen to like the blue neons, although usually I don't. Nice car man. By the way, if you happen to shave the ding guards, I'll buy them off of ya. The E0's guards are much nicer than the E1's, and unfortunately, I have to leave guards on mine due to a previous painting.
