At the end of this semester I will be repainting my car and putting my WIN style kit on as well. I have narrowed the exterior colors down to Rip Tide Blue (Escalade), or Aubergine Purple (Lotus). Not sure which one to go with. I want something that will stand out, but dark at the same time. What do you guys think?

I liked the Rip Tide because it changes color from a tealish blue color to a purpleish color depending on the angle. Here is a pic of it.

may i recommend the Aston Martin's Tungsten silver??? its sort of a gunmetal finish but looks amazing in person.... if you want a more colorful pick then I say go w/ the BMW's M3 Competition package blue. That thing is hottness!!!

I liked the purple of the Lotus just because I like a deep purple. It looks similar to the Black Cherry, but less red and more blue. Here is a pic of it.

Hard to tell what the blue looks like, not a big fan of purple. I really like the idea of the gunmetal color, like the flint mica of the 06 GS

Your right it is hard to tell about the blue. It changes color, so it is hard to get a pic of it. Let me try again.

uptown-is this what you were talking about?

I gotta tell you, I think that hypercolor stuff is the most ridiculous looking thing to hit the industry. It looks just fine on a disco stang, but not a classy car like the GS.

i knew in the end my black was gonna be an easy decision ... but hard to keep clean

i like the top pic.. i have no idea what it will make the gs look like though

if you're going for a purplish color, please stick w/ a black cherry as the red gives the GS more of a presense.... the bluer tones tend to make the car look very girly and bubbly....it just seems out of place....

as per the blue... the M3 competition blue is Interlagos blue. IMO top blue out there.... Spectra blue mica is also pretty hot.

But really though.... when I repaint again.... it'll be pearl white.But then I'd have to get a whole new kit and wheels.....

if u must hit the car with an exotic color.... try something thats not as........um.........uh....fruity. The gs is a car that has to have a good color... in my opinion "metallic rainbow" isnt one of them....hit it with a super white maybe.... a graphite color is also very very tasteful.... but hey... if you must pick one of those 2, i choose the lotus purple... i can live with it.
