Default newlook, thoughts please..

OK. I wanted to change the look of the car a LITTLE, so I made some minor changes. I removed the windshield banner, and put blackbird stripes on. The first picture is an older one with the windshield banner, the rest are new ones !windshield banner, and with the blackbird stripes. I know that My color scheme is not everyones favorite, Believe me, I KNOW, I've heard. But I want my car to stand out a little. Thoughts welcome, watcha think?

Dont worry about the color scheme. It's not tacky, so as long as you like it...good enough. I'm a big fan of the blackbird stripes. I got them and have received a lot of compliments on them. Looking good.

Awesome! Simply gorgeous! Much better over the more plain look that it had before. And you know what I say about those people who don't like your color scheme? **** em. Black and yellow go great together and it makes for a unique look that you don't normally see around. Good job and it looks great.

I have always loved your color scheme. Did you put the stripes on before you removed the banner? just curious to see what that looked like.

No, actually I removed the banner about a month ago, and just got the stripes on today. I thought about doing it, but i have never been crazy about the banners(it was on when i bought the car). I thought it may have been too much.

Looks better than it did before, I was actually suprised, when I read yellow stripes I was like, "oh no..." but that's not bad.

I normally don' t care for yellow on black, but your enhancements are subtle. I' ve seen a T/A a couple times, with a HUGE yellow pukin chicken on both sides, covering MOST of the sides. THAT was nasty. If you had gone with traditional racing stripes, it would have looked like a bumble bee, but you kept it simple. Very nice!

I think it looks good. But am not a fan of the steering wheel either. The rest looks awesome.

Thanks for the input guys. I am liking the look more and more. I was going to take the steering wheel cover off when i took the banner off, but my wife loves it , and wouldnt have it. Since she has let me spend ALOT of money on the car that could have been spent on bills, I won't be removing it. She drives it often as well, so....
