My car is really turning into a skittle

what can i say that the pics won't answer. My car is litterally turning into a bag of "skittles" Green and yellow body, blue engine and soon to be blue struts and springs, and getting some nicer red seats. I'm thinking what the heck i'll just paint my black steel stock rims orange just for the heck of it. Oh and the last pic is one i photochopped of a wing that i got for free. not sure if i should put it on though. Any wise *** remarks and i'll have to find ya and hunt ya down. JK.. sorry for the size of the pics.

Please don't put that wing on there... I beg you!

Sell it to some Ricer Honda Boy for a boat load of money and use what you get out of him to paint your Z.

In my neck of the woods, that car would be called a "MexiMobile"...

When i was a kid my neighbor had a 70 240Z, that was lime green, black interior and spoke wheels. Came from the factory that way. I would have killed for that car in '75 when i turned 16, but he didnt want to sell it. He sold it in '78 for more than he had paid for it new (and didnt offer it to me). But yeah they did have the skittle green back then.

I say keep it skittle green and go with some larger diameter/wider black rims. If you pull it off right it'll look pretty damn good. I mean shoot, you got points for the slick top right off the bat . . .

hmmm try some 1500 sand paper and wet sand till your fingers bleed. if its a decal though you can use a heat gun to melt the glue and use some windex or go-gone to take it off. If you don't have a heat gun use a hair dryer.
