What do you guys think? (LOTS OF PICS)

Here go some Pics of my car... Im doin a Door and Lock shaving conversion on it and after reading another post here I figured since Im gonna do some light body work that I may as well go all the way and SHAVE IT BALD!
The pics on the left are the BEFORE and the right AFTER!



Note that I will also be painting the Sideview mirrors black too to keep the whole Yellow and Black Scheme going.... even my engine is yellow and Black!!



What do you guys think?
P.S. New sig comin soon too tee hee hee

The doors need something to break up the monochromatic billboard you've got going. I say leave the door handles or put a Ford Taurus-style door handle in.

OH BTW the whole reason Im going Shaved is because some fuckface bastards broke into my car like 3 nights ago and they tore up the drivers side lock to get in. And since they couldnt steal the whole car they vandalized my interior.

I like the shaved moldings, air dams, color..... most everything except the wheels. I'm not a huge fan of the "froggy" look. Everything else is sweet.

Very nice, I like it. Especially the 'bumblebee' engine paint scheme.

Well Im replacing the FogLamps I have now with some HID lamps so that I wont have to use the headlights at night (besides my headlamp motors are messed up). That will eliminate the "froggy" look altogether and as for the monochromatic color scheme.... look to the sideview mirrors and moon roof for some color relief. And nothing says I HAUL *** like offset 13" rims.... Talk about acceleration and handling!! Ive thrown this car around corners that would tear 15" tires right off the rim!!

I like the way the car is now, Shave the locks if you want, but leave everything else!
