And I almost like that hood! Finally one that does not look like a stupid cowl hood on a ricer. Would be nicer for me if it was tapered back down in the back a little.

HIDEOUS. There is way too much going on in the paint scheme.

I'm not that crazy about the fade paint either, but the car has had a lot of detailed work done to it.

The tailpipes are a little funky.

The Blue piping on the seats is a nice touch.

That guy is a member here. He's been trying to sell that car for a while now.

Wonder why?

Y is it listed as a mustang?

Posted by: Rich88LSC

I have seen that car before. Overall it's nice but I don't like the hood and I don't like the blue piping(it doesn't match anything else on the car). If it was black or red 'd dig it.

Wat too much going on in too many directions. I personally do not like the hood or the paint.

Read the info, he said he needs money for school (college), he bought this car before he turned 16, put a lot of time, and money into it. I give the kid props, he turned a stock mark into something custom, if you don't like it fine, it's not your taste, that's fine too. But the point is, he had a dream, he accomplished it and now has to let it go. Give him a break!

i'll give him a break, i hope he does sell it, i wouldnt be able to look at the paint another day. i'm sorry but the thing looks stupid, that is by far the worst fade i have ever seen. yes i realize he was young, he did alot of work to it for a kid, but he must have been blind folded when they painted it.

I defintately give the kid credit for the work. I think the car would look much better, if it had a black interior. Otherwise, excellent work for a teenager.

10-4. Mine will be White top color and from the Pinstripe down Black before I get done with it.

It's kinda my trade mark.

I remember the thread where we all said to repaint then sell it, I wish him luck this could be a hard sell.
The paint is the first thing that most people notice when buying a car next to what kind of car it is, if a noob was looking for a gen1 and can afford to repaint it this car could be a good deal.

By the looks of things your trade mark is also faulty air ride equiptment. lol. j\p.

I think the car looks pretty good actually. I could live w\o the fade, but otherwise very well done. Someone has put a ton of time and money into it, and i can definately appreciate that.

dont do it, they are garbage, my buddy is on his second set in a year, they quality of them blows his light up sometimes, then they dont or they flicker, they are elctroluminescent at night. ijust installed the new ones last week and he said one gauge is already out. unreal. he got them from speedhut.
