Get rid of that strip of weather rubber on your doors, remove the OEM black trim. Paint from the trim down one tone, paint your roof black, tint your front fender side marker red.

Those are my suggestions. oh remove the spoiler too.

hmm…  
like you said, “it somewhat looks good”

Are you set on the two tone?  
Seems to me that it’ll look just so much more cleaner if you just paint everything red

If you really are set on the two tone… (i’m assuming red and black) just get gunmetal or black rims, with a bit of a chrome silver lip and then do the hood and roof in black. _shrugs_ Just my little opinion

lol yea that stupid weather stripping was from the previous owner, the black trim…what is it? I take it a heat gun should allow it to be removed easier?

My roof? Black?

Yea it really is actually, I was hoping for a blending effect, so on the second thought go for a side marker delete.

That’s even worst, if you remove side markers, there is no reflector or light on the side o fthe car and the car become not only illegal, but much less visible at night.

Those cars have tailights/headlights that wrap around the body and have a reflector that can be seen from the side.

My verdict is panda.  
So in term…bloody panda lol.

Anyone have some tips removing the oem strip? For some reason i was able to remove certain sections of it as if it were tape, but as i progressed to different panels it seemed as if it were painted on…possibly previous owners fault? Manufacturer?
