Should have done them in pink. Then at least 2 other people would be interested.

It looks good mate
Easy cheap mod that actually does look different

Just wondering, why the bright red again?

The important part is who did it first.

yeah, a darker gray or black would have looked better...im not a fan of exterior colours working their merry way inside, unless the car is black.

well u all got ur own opinions but im on a tight budget since im paying a lawyer 5 gs a month. But i like it and you dont have to drive it i do so thats all that matters anyway. im not the kind of person who cares if someone else doesnt like something i own. just thought there may be someone out there who could use it as an idea.

bringing the exterior colour in isn't to bad as long as it isn't overkill.

black does look good but i wanted a touch of red inside instead of painting my interior which is sort of irreversible. theres a guy on ebay who will do it for $50 but like i sed it cost me $10 for vinyl plus $4 for the glue and thats it. so its cheap mod that can look great and can be done in so many colours. also a great way to pass a day if u wanna do something constructive.
