You could pain the halo black and use a tinted glass top, this will give it a different look as well.

If the red is vinyl then just remove it.

You could paint the area where the front running lights/fog lights area black and the lower area in the back around the tail pipes like others have done.

The car looks good, I can see that you have made some changes to it like wheels, brake caliper paint, and black outs.

Best of luck with your project.

Maybe some one could do some photochopping for you using these pictures to get an idea of what the changes you favor would look like on your car before you spend time and money on them.

I not much for the emblems on the doors either but, under the circumstances, the're there for good. The only changes I'd make is to tint or do the night shades paint treatment to the rear quarter lights and not a fan or the red pinstripping on the wheels. BTW nice ride

I think it looks good! Its not enough red to say it reminds me of McDonalds. Its just enough to set it apart from the bumble bee look.

...the pinstriping, and painted badge is not doing it for me either. I would remove the BSM's for sure!.
As others have mentioned, you can remove the red hood stripe all together, or replace it with the same in black.

I've had yellow cars.

Looks fine by me, now lets go to McDonalds for some lunch....

PS : I'm not a fan of the emblem on the door either, but if you like it, leave it, its your ride and the opinions on this forum is just that, opinions...

Enjoy the ride, to McDonalds of course...
