what did you like best?
Well Im kind of gettiing bored with the look of my car, I intend on trading my old ass headers for a powerbuldge hood as soon as I get my car runing, But while Im sitting around with nothing to do on the car(cant spend more then 5 bucks on parts) I was thinking of changing the wheel color to black.
What did you like best
Gold
or
Graphite?
How do you feel black would look?

I think the gold and graphite both look good. I don't think black would look as good with your body color.
Why are you so anxious to spend the $5 that you do have on paint? Save it up for something bigger....

Don't waste your money, keep something the same and spend that money elsewhere.
Graphite looks fine.

Nice Matt. Open mouth, insert foot. <shakes head>
Matt, I still say paint the car white with black callouts. Then go for the black wheels. It will match your interior which I think is sharp already. Go for the power bulge hood and the anniversary graphics that go on it.
Oh, and do all that late next year. Between now and then, enjoy the hockey season, the holidays, and your family. Finish school next spring, get a summer job, then approach the car again in September after you have some money and plenty of time to formulate a PLAN!!!! Stop changing your mind (and wasting your money / your moms money).
Slow down. You are still young and have plenty of time to build the car you realy want once you start driving.
EDIT: If you need something to do between now and September next year, strip the car down to a rolling shell so you can get a thorough paint job. There are several members on this board who may be willing to offer towing services to and from the paint shop.

Yeah I suppose. I look back at some of the choices I made in life and just wish I listened to my parents. Wisdom comes at a high price sometimes. I hope Matt can take whats being offered.

The gold looks better. I say take the $5 and find a hooker.
