Wow that candy burgundy color looks awesome. I never thought that color could look so sexy. I just have a glossy black; nothing special...

[quoteI can't get excited about white, black, or grey... I just prefer more saturated colors. I mean, if you're going to make a change.... make a change.

Ferrari Tour de France Blue

Thats what Im talking about.......that Tour de France blue is beautiful!


Having gone through this 3 times with my old Supras, I can tell you that picking a new color is rediculously hard. You can talk yourself in and out of colors a million times and still second guess yourself once you make the call. I have had cars started to get spratyed and changed my mind in the past.

I see a lot of car washes in your future with the front fenders cut out like that. Also, you must replace tires often with that camber being so high.

I think these cars look great in silver and I would stick with that.

I'd try to research some of my favorite silvers from different auto manufacturers and go in that direction.
