Not digging the green but to each his own. If you like it then big thumbs up for originality.

lowered with some more green accents(mirrors, trunk lip, etc) would really pull the look together! I'm glad I'm not the only one doing "crazy" colors. I can't stand all the boring folks on this forum with standard colored everything.

Not true at all.

You asked for people's opinion, I gave mine... Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

He's just an old man. Leave him to his thoughts.

OP maybe the pics dont do it justice but if the plasti dip was a shade darker (which it probably is) then that is a cool colour combo
