How Would This Look

Alright so i found a mustang i want to buy. i wanted gt convertible and found gt t-top. It's electric blue exterior and black interior. what I want to do is strip off the paint and paint it midnight black then put some lime green rims on it. do you think it would look ok? i cant seem to find any lime green rims out there so i dont know the exact color.

also, this is aside from the look but how do you prevent a t-top from leaking...besides not driving it in the rain or covering it with a tarp

Putting new seals on the T-tops is usually a good starting point. Also.. not so sure about lime green wheels but hey.. its your car.

Meh I don't know about the green rims either. The whole lime green/ hot pink/ bright blue rim craze just seems like an import thing to me.

Unless you've done body work before you'll find out that its not so easy to repaint a car on your own. And lime green on any part of a car is gross in my eyes.

If you plan on keeping the car blue, just pick up some black or white 4 lug cobra R's and slap them on. They are sweet wheels and dont cost a whole lot.

u sure its an 88? i thought it was 79-86 for t-tops? maybe im wrong. please dont make the same mistake i did as far as stripping the paint, its probably the main reason my first cougar is rotting in a scrap yard somewhere today. i stripped and primered it (then i became ThePrimerSuspect) with every intention of painting it within a couple weeks, then i hit some a-hole in a f150 who pulled out in front of me. so i had to pay the $800 i had for a paint job to fix his truck and it all went downhill from there. winter came and the salt destroyed the primer which then turned to rust which got so bad that i couldnt save it. then came the rod knock and that was the end of the first cougar that i miss so dearly.
sorry, didnt mean to rant. if i had listened to everyone and just sanded and primered, i might still have it. do not do a complete strip. and if you need any 5.0 parts, i would probably give them away at this point.
