It looks real sharp on a wagon!! Iv seen one in that color combination before. If I recall correctly it was a Sport cuz it had the blacked out trim. Black and silver sure look good together and a red pinstripe really makes those colors pop!! The only thing is though the interior would almost have to  be black or grey to look right.

...You thinking of doin a a color change on your Eagle Don?

I was there yesterday Don.  But not for paint.  Work related.  Will have to look next time I am there.  Was it in the auto section or the paint section?

The red accent stripe was found on all Sport models except those painted red.  They left their accents silver.
You could also get a Black SX/4 with a white accent stripe.  My friend's red SX/4 also has his that are white.
