        You have to paint the whole ass yellow and continue the black up the C pillar. It looks too weird cut off like that.

            The car is not a m3, but I found that model already made. It currently setup as a track car, however I am transitioning it to a rally car. It is also street driveable.

            I thought about running the colors all the way up, but I thought the partial stripe was rather unique.

            I have a few other ideas rolling around & I need to put them on the model & see what they look like

              I dig it the way it is but give us some choices to choose from.

                if your painting it,
                do the whole car from front to back:
                black red yellow.
                if you wanna try this?
                i suggest vinyl

                  Concurred. Only start with black on the back for smoked tails.

                    Yellow wheels bother me. Looks like Ronald McDonald is driving that thing. Is suggest red wheels in rear and black up front.

                      That looks hideous, imo

                      i figures i would use vinyl as opposed to painting it

                      oh, and the wheels are supposed to be gold. Gold is hard to replicate...

                            I think i like the stripe out line.

                            here are more color options.

                              3 is pretty interesting. But i agree that the yeloow and green is worth trying since its a bit different.

                              Okay Edit...I am really digging the blue gradient!!!
