make it black if u dont wanna be flamboyant with it. if u do in fact want it to be noticed, get a nice candy red going.


may i ask what you are painting? hopefully not the leather lol

hes painting the interior of the car after the cage is installed. he removed the sound deadening. it gets put on before the car is painted. when you remove it you have a red car with a bunch of discolored metal spots. look at the pics you posted.

lol. still getting a kick out of the 15000 2jx swap thread. you make my day every time i see you name lol. nothing homo.

Go with a gunmetal. It'll look clean and not too flashy. Actually something similar to the color your TT wheels look in that picture.

My friend just got a cage in his '00 Z28. He just used the .99 cent cans of flat black from Home Depot, put two coats on. It looks badass, and isn't flashy at all.
