To each his own that's for sure. Our tastes are all a little different. I know a lot of people who don't like the look of my car. It's what you like best that counts.

That being said,

IMHO it looks like all you would need is a lance and you'd be ready for a joust!

I like the look of your car, very stealthy. I especially like your last comment

As others have stated, I agree that the black looks more appealing. Not sure if that's the theme you're looking for on your white car. Either way, if you like it, get it.
