Not speeding on the interstate and main roads means I have no record whatsoever. Back roads are another story, but cops are few and far between out there.

I think I will just slow down for now there are very few back roads here in fl that are worth speeding on. I'm still liking orange but I like gunmetal too so idk I'm not getting it painte for a few more weeks so I can a few more paychecks come in

you said you wanted orange with stripes on the passenger side? why not do the opposite with gunmetal with orange stripes and orange wheels? or the crazy spyker racing colors  yes that is a factory paint job.

^ i would do that if only for the resale value of the car, not to mention in a year you might get sick of it and it will be much easier to take care of.

if i did paint it gunmetal i font think having an off centered stripe would look unless i did black and i guess vinyl is the way to go with a strip but would it bubble or fade out over time? also im not worried about thieves because i just bought this new toy

To the untrained eye gunmetal looks like grey/silver. But to an enthusiast they will instantly notice how different your Leggy looks.
-Chuck I agree do gunmetal with the vinyl stripe

idk i think if i did gunmetal it would be hard to match it with any other color although a dark gunmetal with a light silver stripe or light gunmetal with a dark stripe might look good.

-Chuck but you also gotta think hes painting the car orange, that means hes already standing out, hes already being a blip to cops and enthusiasts
