Riff will remember this, but when I got my VX, Proton was the last color on my list of preferences. Now I can't imagine having any other color. I will admit that the wife and I have tossed around the idea of flat army green or maybe a flat deep charcoal. I have enough pin stripes, and as Billy mentioned, "battle scars" that it just isn't worth waxing anymore. Of course, mine is becoming more and more trail rig, so I have my own destiny to follow....(enter star wars theme or some other epic theme music)
Sorry Dub, but IMHO I think skulls are tacky, like weekend Harley riders and their bandannas and leathers. Come up with your own unique design. Think of something original...maybe go the current "urban" route and make it a Honey Nut Cheerios VXNot sure if ya'll have that goin round where you are, but the thing that "urban" crowd is doing is putting Caprices and Crown Vics on 26" wheels, lifting em, and then decorating them with various brands. In my area I have seen John Deere, Skittles, Star Burst, Coke Zero, Sprite, Lucky Charms, Fruity Pebbles, Gary Coleman(RIP) and a handful of sports teams. These aren't cheap spray paint jobs, these are complete decal kits and nice paint. The rims alone cost more than the car, I don't even want to know what the paint and decals cost.

No matter what, its your VX, just remember that the proton is one of 479 ever made!!!! Who cares what strippers say, or anyone else for that matter. Do what makes you happy
