OMG, don't overdo it with the door trim. Saw a car here in Calgary the other day (old guy driving) where he had run it entirely around all 4 doors, the trunk lid and the hood. It stood out from all the other cars in traffic but not in a nice way.

Kris and Tricia:
YES, I did get the package! Thank you so much and it is already installed on my now very old bike :). If you are serious about that drink, I will be home tonight and you could see what she would look like in a brand new four car garage. After looking at both colors again, I think you made the right choice. "Cognitive dissonance is a discomfort caused by holding conflicting cognitions (e.g., ideas, beliefs, values, emotional reactions) simultaneously. In a state of dissonance, people may feel surprise, dread, guilt, anger, or embarrassment.[1] The theory of cognitive dissonance in social psychology proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by altering existing cognitions, adding new ones to create a consistent belief system, or alternatively by reducing the importance of any one of the dissonant elements.[1] An example of this would be the conflict between wanting to smoke and knowing that smoking is unhealthy; a person may try to change their feelings about the odds that they will actually suffer the consequences, or they might add the consonant element that the smoking is worth short term benefits. A general view of cognitive dissonance is when one is biased towards a certain decision even though other factors favour an alternative.[2]" Another example is the stress of spending big bucks but enjoying every minute of it.

So, I just now read your thread! Congrats on the new bike. That was a deal you couldn't pass up!! Heck, I was getting excited for you just reading through all the posts! I think you chose the right color. I can't say that I like the gold. Maybe if it was all white, but not 2 tone like that.
