I like the car, but I'd take the black off the front license plate. Otherwise it's pretty good as it sits.

This exactly. Im planning on putting the bird on in black after I get my bumper re painted. Other than that it looks pretty good

I think the front of the car would flow much better this way.

If you want to break up some black on the side leave the wheel lip chrome/aluminum.

Nice looking car.

i like the sail to be pewter as the rest of the car is, it gives it the unique look of the car but when its black it fades in with the tinted windows taking away from differences in our cars from just another car on the road. also the mirrors being black are not in my favor but i mean i have just an opinion its what you like what matters. other wise i think it looks pretty good

Reverse the bird, get HIDS, and chrome the lip or get new black and chrome wheels. But I love black so I'm biased theres nothing on my car not black. Nothing

Looked good except the license plate cover.

Wheels either need to be black or fix the center caps. They look like they're missing and it cheapens the car immensely.

Just an idea that I would like to see done.
You can put 02 CETA stripes on the side of it.
I agree the front plate has to go or get painted pewter again.

My vote is for swaping the colors on the front plate, and go back with the black wheels
