I like the paint and the convertible but the rims are too wide. I'm not a fan of rims that stick out of the wheel well.

Not voting, neither option fits my opinion.
The vert, cool idea, not sure how much I like it per say, but it's cool!

The color, not my shade of blue. And the wheels, well, never, just simply no love for them.

And the guy driving around while the top is still coming down, not wise. Unlike at least my wife's '00 vert Mustang, that custom Monte has no safety feature to prevent that. On the Mustang, the e-Brake MUST be engaged to operate the top. Some how, I bet that guy will zip around on the freeway and such thinking "let me get some attention and take down the drop-top!".....

I like the color and the convertible (which is odd because I normally don't like convertibles), but those rims are SO ugly. What in the world is wrong with some people, lol. Personally, I don't like HUGE rims, but if they at least had a good design it might help a little bit. Oh well, he can enjoy his terrible ride, and worn out suspension bits in a matter of months now

I didn't vote either. I'm on the fence about the paint color. I'd have to see it in person. The wheels don't do anything for me. The drop top is a cool idea, but wonder if the body was reinforced to compensate for the loss of structural integrity when the roof was removed.

I've always said I like rims to look proportional to the car. Too big or too small doesn't do it for me. I think those rims are too big also.

I think the convertible was a bad idea. In general, making a non-convertible car into a convertible is a bad idea. Because when you cut the roof off, you remove a major part of the car's structural integrity.

Convertibles have added structural integrity built into the frame of the car. So the car doesn't twist or start folding up on you.
