Default Ugliest factory Combo ever !!! FAIL!!

Saw this "beaut" on craigslist.


Silver, gold trim, tan interior, hideous 16" factory wheels. And someone actually paid full price for this combination !!

I agree that the gold trim has to go, especially on a silver car. Could the wheels be their winter wheels? As for silver / tan, the guy I bought my winter wheels from has a silver / ecru UL that looks quite nice together.

I must agree that the 16's on this size of a car is a big no no. They look so tiny.

Car exterior look in good conditions, gold emblem and wheel are easy fix via upgrade. Good luck to the new owner, not bad car at all.

I searched high and low to find an 01 with 17s. Replacing the 16s will not be a cheap investment.
