Agree. With some restraint and subtlety, white on silver could look fine but this canvas is way too busy already.

Looks great. Good luck with brake dust.

The 911 Speedster press cars are white on silver. I like the look. Not a fan of the white wheels though.

Its like a guy with 50 tattoos all over his body. He's already a mess. So adding a few more is just fine and keeps with the theme.

I like it, but the stripping continuing to the rear bumper and then stopping in the middle of it is a little strange.

I'll remove this back bumper part + the falken sticker on spoiler and the rear Porsche sticker... it should be more discrete but still very sporty ;-)

The white and silver looks good but mixing in the yellow lenses confuses things a bit.

Too much, more like a toy car. Looks like the hood is a different color than the rest of the car too. Plain silver with the white stripe would look great - it's a nice color combination. I could even like the white wheels. But with all the other schemes, it goes off the rails for me.

Too busy. It's a street car. The yellow lights are the icing on the very busy cake. The black stone guards with the white stripe going into them don't work for me and I'm not loving the white wheels or mismatched hood either. I really only like white wheels on a white car, but even then, less than every other color but black - don't like black wheels on anything. Sometimes less is more.

If you're happy with it, that's really all that matters.

If it works for you...outstanding! I like it fine. Why be boring? I like all versions of the GT me (well, almost all).

To me the mismatched hood, yellow lenses, black rock guards and the Falken stickers are too much. Were those resolved I think that it would be a very attractive and unique looking car. Regardless, Snoks8Luke, if you love it that's all that matters.
