It looks fine, but the pink is not glossy enough. or maybe it needs a bit of sparkle. not sure.

I just feel like it doesn't really pop.

Very unique. The car will look more complete if you add more pink to it.

I think you should've gone with a hot/metallic pink... it looks like a decent job - what else are you planning on? You can't stop there.

I am a fan of pink and i like the shade you chose. But I do agree that with only the emblems and small strakes it looks a little bit out of place. Also not too big of a fan of pink and silver. But get more and post pics, I'd love to see more pink on a car!! Doesn't look like too bad of a start. Very nice.

I know I'm a bit partial to it, since it IS my car, but it really does look a lot better in person... I did get clear corners, which makes a huge difference... I'm not sure what else I want to do to it. I'd like to do the calipers at least but I'm just not sure how much trouble that would be to do it... I want to get a front lip. Are there also like back lips or whatever to cover up the black on the underneath on the back of the car around the exhaust? I'm so new to all of this. I'm still learning.

really doesnt look bad at alli. its a nice personal touch to the car. nothing i would do because A: i'm not a chick and B: i like bone stick cars. i was however hoping you were of the female gender though. luckily i did see the pic you posted of yourself and i was relieved to say the least. either way post some updated pics when you finish the car and add the clear corners.

the thing i'm really digging about pwinkie is that she's doing her own thing. She knows what she wants and isn't sitting on the fence... keep going with your theme and f all the people who don't like it.

It's funny that it took a girl in love with the color pink to show us that doing what you want to your car is what moding a car is all about.
