I think those look killer. Too bad they don't come in all black, or the right sizes for me, for that matter..... Oh yeah, is that a convertible Taurus I see in the background? I wasn't aware that there was such a thing.

The Taurus is my neighbors...i don't know if it's a convertible, but that does look like some sort of cloth covered top. It's also got a flat tire to match

It's definitely on the list for the near future. I am just really worried about taking a rattle can to the car myself...may end up having it done at a local shop if i can get a good price.
