next week im getting the coupe stripped and painted finally. Almost a year since i had it repaired its finally gonna get finished. I got all the 97 parts minus the skirts... so ill have some parts for sale soon as they come off the car. Buttt i dunno which color 2 go with?!?!? If i go white i wanna get chrome rims, but if red(with metallic coat of course) den black rims with polished lip. or should i put it back to the original red (92-94)????? what u guys think?

 

bmw imola red

 

original red

 

I think that everybody has black rims with the polished lip.

I also think red is a good color on the SC. Just not the original or the Bmw choices you offered.

Maybe you can try absolutely red or even candy apple red .

Maybe you can try some pearl colors or metallics, just to widen your options of course.

 

Torch Red - C5 Vette

 

yea if i go red its gotta b metallic. but paint codes are tha issue..... my body shop has the dealer codes nothing custom. and the black rims with the lip alot of ppl dont have em if they do theyre not staggered or 18's.

 

You really honestly think so? You must live in a small world then. Also, it does not matter whether it is staggered or 18 inches. It is just totally irrelevant. How many people could actually tell the difference?

Take a trip down to California, you'll see that everyone has this, totally played out. Every new Nissan Maxima that is black and modified has black rims with polished lip.

 

yea in cali but im in ny.... def not the case ova here. i seen a red 350 z with black staggered rims def caught mah eye but im really debating on that new pearl white on that gs damn juss give me da gs

 

So you're saying that you're limited to only OEM metallic colors?

Mazda RX-8 red metallic
Audi A4 (older model) white pearl (Saturn has an inexpensive alternative that looks nice)
Porsche dark blue metallic. They also have a brilliant and very bright white!

 

If you go with white, the Glacier Frost Mica is nice. Don't forget the SC430 White Gold Crystal and GX470 Blizzard Pearl.

If you want a metallic red, I suggest Matador Red Mica. It is really brillant in the sun, swing by your local dealer and check one out...you won't be dissapointed
If you need paint codes from the Lexus dealer, PM me...I can get you them

 

Maybe a little to loud?

I just think this color is sexy as hell, but maybe the car is helping

 

I say go with pearl white classy/sporty at the same time, clean, shines nice, not boring(color changes). If you wanna try something different, try a gunmetal. good luck!

 

yashio factory pink! lol what kind of paint will you be using?

 

LOUD yes

 

Go Super white! Or should I say, Supra White! That color is so white it attracts bugs.
