Default SC in Tein Green?
Been tossing the idea around my head after seeing this classic. What do you think? Maybe some Tein Green faces with polished lips on the wheels to match?

No. I noticed that our cars for some reason can't pull off wild colors.

An SC cannot pull off colors like that in my opinion because of what it is. An SC is a classy luxury car that will always look gorgeous in simple colors. I really don't feel like Tein green would add anything to the car. Now maybe if it was a track NSX or Evo X it would be a different story...

And your car has been my favorite Sandstone SC since the previous owner had it for sale, really hope you aren't thinking about painting your current car this colour, but its your call.

I honestly like your Sandstone better, in fact, its one of the best sandstones I've seen thus far..That green is very hard to pull off...

Oh nah, I was just thinking about that color when I saw the old school; no intentions on changing mine to it.

Maybe a Vertex kitted widebody SC could pull it off. Just the thought of something aggressive with matching green anodized faces kind of intrigues me.

Are you talking like Takata green TE37s or something? Cuz I don't think they'd look very good on the SC, lol

I'm thinking Tein metallic green on the body with a set of Iforged Mesh 8s with anodized green faces and polished lips.

Maybe on a 240, not an SC.

You mean Renaissance Red? I think the SC pulls it off perfectly.

Yea that red but it looks good on that pic since it's slammed . Shern why not try silver moss (240SX) or Millennium Jade (R34 GT-R Nur) if you want some type of green...
