I have had a sort of grey or silver in my head as well.
Not sure what msm is
Isint ggp a sort of darkish grey?

Also thinking of de badging the rear and only leaving the lexus symbol.
Not sure about removing the front though.

I'd personally go with the Renaissance Red color (Not just because I have one myself) but even though it was produced in mass quantities, It's still a rarely seen color on an SC out in the streets and isn't as common as your typical "run of the mill" 202 Black Onyx SC's.

If you are fully repainting a car go with something original that every sc doesn't have.... aka a non factory color for the car. Otherwise seems like a waste to me.

are those pegs for a scooter? LOLOLOL!


but on a real note, this thread has me thinking what color im going to paint my sc.... its black now.....a brilliant renaissance red, sounds sooo nice. but then again black is low key, and considering i live in so cal, and my power goals being what they may be, i dont think red will be a good choice, haha.

i would accent the interior with exterior. the car is yours bro, make it your creation. thats why we all like diff rims and body kits and diff exhausts sounds.
