I just held up a purple jacket to my green seats. Yuck. Now the hard part, Try to convince her otherwise or better yet find a way for her to convince herself it won't look good | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 336 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 336 | Give her some purple. Paint the master cylinder purple (you still have the under the floor, right?)
Get a picture of the truck (or a similar one) and use Photoshop to mock up the color scheme.
