Default Body Colored Whistler Mod

Curious on opinions on this one.

I was thinking about doing this to my car, and purchasing the clear markers and doing the body color mod to those as well. I will more then likely purchase a wings west, or RK sport grill and paint it black for a contrast in the front.

Has any-one done this? Very Curious on the results.

Whistler did it! His was actually grey, but it was so dark everyone did theirs in black, and the rest is history. Your text for your car is in Red, is your car also? If so then it won't look good as it will make your car look stoned. In fact I dont think it will look too good on any color but grey, black, and white.
