Oh yeah, i remember those. I like that color. The problem is... i like all these different colors on other cars. I think only certain colors will look good on the V.

I could do something wild like a lime green. lol I always thought white on a V would look good but the white one i saw local with black wheels, lights and grill looked like crap.

Cool pics man and i like that truck!! I love the satin finish! I don't know what it is. lol Some think it looks unfinished but i like that its different and it looks aggressive to me. I think it'll look bad *** on my car especially since ill be slammed and cammin with a cowl hood and everything murdered out. Its a love it or hate it thing i guess but when its done right, i love it!

Go 2 tone. Matte & gloss black. Or gloss black with two fat matte black stripes.

I'm not really a stripe fan but the 2-tone sounds like a possibility! I'm going to look up some pics of that and see how it looks

Because then, when 6 months down the road you decide you don't like it anymore, all you have to do is peel it off instead of paying to have it painted a 2nd time.

That's true but I'm sure the adhesive and process of putting it on and taking it off has to do some sort of damage to the paint right?
