I like it. Just enough to make it stand out but not enough to make it look overdone.

I would go with it.

I like everything except for the side skirts....

Great colour combo, and tasteful. Change the chrome (headlight rings, taillight rings, side repeaters and fuel cap) to the same red, and tint the headlights/taillights.

What don't you like about the side skirts? I think they pull the whole look together... changing the chrome rings red? Seems a bit radical...

I'm not sure i like them in red, that's all...maybe some graphic designs on the side panels in the red instead?

I mostly like it, but something about the side skirts bothered me as well. I think it is a problem of balance. They have much more area than anything else. I wanted something to go with them, like a red roof. Maybe doing the gas cap and side scuttles would help.

Black wheels with a red rim stripe would look good with it. You might want to Photoshop that, just to see.

I Think if The door handles side repeaters and fuel cap were that same red The side skirts would look good.

I Think the headlight rings should be painted that Astro Black to match your car and not stand out though.

That would work perfectly.
