Rockin' a base model.
So, last fall, I got sick of looking at this:
Nothing but an ocean of tan... the unfortunate victim of decontenting (and owning a base model).
So... after dropping too much money on '05 Grand Marquis chrome interior door handles and employing a friend cause he knows what he's doing with paint...
What's everyone think? Personally, I love it. It breaks up everything nicely and the 'chrome' interior handles feel much better to the touch than the regular black ones.

Looks good, much better than say lime green. I see that car came with the water bottle option. You could have seat inserts put in also if you want to spring for it. I would say leave the RoadRunner floormats in the store.
STILL N/A
That looks much better! Nice job.
IMHO: I would've kept the black door handles to match the new black accent paint, but I know how much heftier the chrome versions feel.

When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.
