Any Pink Pigs Out There?

Just wondering if anyone has given in and painted their Pig pink?

I think the old Chrysler color code "Panther Pink" would look damn sexy on a 55!!!

Has anyone seen one or have any pics?

I think the "Pig" thing is getting out of hand.

But that two tone kinda looks good in that color pink. As long as a hot girl is driving.

OK, so I might not be the "hot girl" but I did consider painting the pig pink. For about a second. Then someone slapped me, I sobered up, my anti-psychotic drugs took effect, and I changed my mind.



But really...I did consider it.

I love it!!! Esp with the widened factory wheels... Those are great.

If you don't mind doing a third, would you do the roof cap in pink, like the factory two-tone?

If not, no prob...

I was gonna say the same about ours.

Didn't dare wash it, or you'd end up with a bucket of red water
