Where is 213 motoring at anyway? I didnt feel like looking up the area code. I just cant understand how they spent the money for the aristo and this is what they came up with? Very few quality mods on this car, and I think most everyone will agree with that

I actually like that white 7 series, just wish I could see the whole car. Im not a fan of white cars with white wheels so if it was brushed or polished it would look better

I've only seen civics with this color and can't imagine it looking good on much of anything, if the paint had a really tough candy process done over it or something along those lines, it would be more impressive in the "show" way, but it's just a reg paint job otherwise. I don't like those show paint jobs, but can appreciate the hard work and effort put into them.

And in there lies the secret. That Ford Grabber Blue is generally used on mid-sized and smaller cars. Mustangs, Camaros, T-Buckets, early 30's coupes and apparently Civics. VW bugs are great candidates for this color. Anything bigger and it just becomes too much IMO. Then, there always the fact that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
