It's all in the lighting :P

I seem to remember it being more like the colour that the car got sprayed. I suppose I should've used the phrase "reminded me of" rather than "looks like" :P

I like! Very nice.
Did you ever consider painting the bottom half a creamy, light eggshell colour? very hot-roddish :)
I would love to do that on mine.

Well, I'm thinking of getting the interior done that sorta colour, it should look awesome. My uncle has a Nissan patrol and the top half is maroon and the bottom half is champaign and the do go really good with each other.
