BLACK.... hard to maintain but beautiful when its clean. 1st choice
RED.... also nice, a little flashy for my taste
YELLOW.... NO
SILVER... Dull
GREEN... I guess if you're into that
BLUE... would be my 2nd choice

or you can be cool and two tone your car. what do ya think? Red on top and black on the bottom. Then your car will be the ****zors!!! you will get MAD props. Maybe some stickers that says NOOOOOS!!!

Are you prepared to do a full color change, remove all of your engine compartment items, door jambs, trunk, etc?

I've always been a fan of
1) Super Black Metallic
2) Gunmetal (always sexy)
3) A Deep dark Blue (kinda like the color on DETUNED's car
4) Pearl White (like on the caddys with a light blue pearl)

Just what I think not that it matters. Remember that it is what you like and what you feel would make you're care look better from you're stand point. And don't forget to get a complete paint job. There is nothing like a half *** paint job. Macco is Ghetto.

Lexus has a factory color called Amethyst that looks great...a dark purple. Other purplish-gray shades look great if done correctly.
