I have seen a few SHO's over the past few months with their SHO name plates (Tags) colored in.

When I got my 1994 ATX back in late summer here is what is looked like after it's very first wash.

And here is it with my choice of color for the name plates. I am wondering if I choose a good color? Input is desired.

I was even able to remove some of the white scuff marks from the bumper thanks to the previous owner.


Soooo what do y'all think of it?

:thankyou:
Thanks,

G.

i'd say that car'd fit right in over there in green bay wisconsin...

green and yellow clash a bit too much for my liking. you get an A for effort as being a fellow owner of a green SHO there are few colors that really go well with green.

Are you the guy who's SHO lettering on the side lights up with the turn signals? He had a green gen 2 with yellow lettering. Your pictures look familiar from those I've seen on cardomain.

I like it. The SHO's are so understated it is rediculous. I would be more concerned about getting rid of that blue oval on the trunk. Now there is a mismatch.

No no - it's just paint. That would be WAY too flashy for me :)

that color is horrible...sorry! silver or gray would have looked much better!

Didn't think I could please you all. But as the other member said. With out something to make it stand out a bit the SHO might not get noticed.
I think I have achieved that subtle-ness.

The best thing is I can easily change the color when ever I want. Maybe next year... white.... wait White after labor day is pas-say.

:naughty:
