What do you think about this idea? :)

I was bored at work and started thinking about how my car's exterior looks so I got to thinking that it'd look sweet if I did this:

-white paint job on whole body
-checkered black/white paintjob on hood
-BBS style rims powdercoated charcoal
-dark limo tint
-powdercoated apex'i style muffler

So, what do you guys think?

No on the hood, no on the muffler.

White? Isn't it purple right now?

It's maroon, bitches!

I liked the checkered hood idea, but you guys say it blows. What if there were black pinstripes running down the sides?

Post a pic of your car and I'll tell you what would look good on your car.

Also, Checkered Hood? Get a CF Hood

Hmmm... maybe instead of that checkered hood you could get some flames, eh?
Everything else is good though

No C/F!!!!!!

But I could get my hands on another hood for you. And scooping it would be no problem. You could mold in an ABS plastic one, or you could fiberglass one in. Either way works good.

I was thinking about the checker hood, that would be insanely expensive to do. Do you know anyone who could do it for cheap?
