Trying to decide what to do.

This was hard for me. As much as I wanted to say BLUE.

Go with the silver. You don't see a lot of silver thirdgens, and when done right, they look HOT.

Actualy, more like a gun-metal gray metallic would be awsome.

I like blue also, but I was thinking about all the imperfections that the car has even though I will "attempt" to fix some of them before it goes in.

silver or gun metal gray. like the look of both of those colors on a third gen because they are not very common.

are you going to paint it your self?

i'll do the prep work, but I'll be shopping for a painter as I don't really have a place to do it

btw...any examples of "gun-metal" grey? I'd like to see that.

For the gunmetal, are you thinking something like this?

Or you could always go for one of these...

Now that looks good.

That is exactly the car that I thought about when I read this Dewey.

Do that!

that gun metal grey is nice...is there a paint code I should request? As soon as I get the prep work done, it will go in to be done. btw...engine bay is going to be flat black. Smile

might even do that myself...lol

Definitely gunmetal... that car posted above looks sooooo good. I've wanted to actually go from blue to a dark gunmetal for a while now (when I get around to painting my car)
