I say do it. You seem to love it. Just make sure you post pics once it's done! I want to see the black paint with red flakes in it.

The 8s doesn't have enough straight lines for this to compliment at all.

Black housing headlights would accent the 2-tone nicely

What a coincidence. Me too.

Although I can't help but point out that the back seat just isn't big enough for a taxi.
