    Holy drip rails, Batman, that is one fine profile. Spots or not, it's perfect.:)

    I would add the spots, but it's beautiful with-or-without, and I've often been proved wrong.

    Your call.

    You've established some really smooth, graceful lines with tasteful body work. Why break 'em up with flashy trinkets? Leave the spot lights to the guys who get the top chop wrong and need a distraction...

    Less is more with a classy ride like that, no need for spots or ridiculous amounts of striping or any other distractions. I agree with missysdad on this one, no need to "trick it up" it already looks great!

    Bill Burnham who used to do "Bill's Eye" in the Goodguys Gazette said if spots were a common OEM thing, that'd be the 1st thing pulled to improve the looks of a car. Got to agree.
