You are right though everyone is entitled to their opinion, I gave mine, I wasn't expecting to get attacked. The first time that's ever happened to me on a forum not involving 10 year olds or Civics.

That looks pretty decent though to me. Because all of the black really plays off the checkered and the yellow is done perfectly. without the checkered and just the yellow I'd give it a 9/10 with the checkered and black interior with the yellow Ill give it a 7/10.
The red though its just too much like a 4/10.

If you post pictures of a visual modification, expect some folks that don't like what you've done. If you're happy with what you've done to your car, that is all that matters. 
PS, stay away from my car.

The paint work on the dash looks very well done. All of it looks very well done.
Little loud for my taste, but great job on the implementation.
It all flows very well together.
Im old and boring.

Thanks Mr Bill
OK!
I was going to ask you the same thing.

And yes it's totally loud, not for the average joe for sure. But GM sold thousands of Corvettes with RED interiors before. I'm just channeling what was before, and maybe should be again.
I have some custom builds that became recognized by (Star Motorcycles) and have no problem stepping out when the urge hits me. This car just manifests my ideas. Of course it's not what everyone wants....there's black for that. But even so, there will be others who see beyond the ordinary and that's the guys/gals who I like to show this stuff too.
ET, that comment made my day like you wouldn't believe! Like Leonardo Di Vinchi saying to the guy who assembled his ikea chair he bought, "Looka that's a marvelous job you done!"

I can't believe Mattie Num Nums was bad mouthing the fuzzy dice of all things!
OK....now for my opinion and I've really only ran across one person here who cared at all about something I said, boy was he pissed!
Some how Rick pulls it off. Most cars I've seen that have been modded as heavily as Rick's wind up being a train wreck, IMHO. Rick's Vette is not something I would do, but I like it! He has managed to keep the "over all" appearance pleasing to the eye.
A week or 2 ago, when Blitz and James were having the whose car is the best thread, I showed both their cars to my wife. The first thing she said was I don't like those "tail thingys". I immediately thought if she doesn't like that I wonder what she would think about Rick's car. So I showed her a picture. Much to my surprise her reaction was "that's spiffy". I ask her why she thought it was spiffy.......she really couldn't answer, she just liked the looks of it. I think it all comes together nicely.
