someone in my city has a color just like that. it was a green/black two-tone with some big *** "SS" decals on the sides. with like some black and chrome 20's, and the berger.

i liked the color, just didnt like the overall appearance

There are a bunch of guys in New Orleans that come over to Biloxi for a car show every year and they run the gambit of flourescent cars. Please don't do this. They really look silly.

actually... you might be surprised. I am pretty sure its this board but he did his own paint and has 2 tone transam with the green on bottom and like i think it was CGM on top.. i personally thought it looked really good. When i read the title i was like.. oh no a skittle.. but it turned out way better than i had thought. ill see if i can find it

pretty much any color can look nice on pretty much any car. paint is not the only factor in a cars appearance. so if the overall appearance comes together right, it will look good.
