Alright, so i'm getting a new paint job soon (im getting the bumper fixed to so don't say nothing about that).

I don't really want to paint it any stock s13 colors.

I don't want dumb***es to look at it and be like oh just another stock s13 with an exaust.

My 240 isn't stock though. I just don't want people thinking it is even though you can clearly tell by the sound and blow off valves and what not.

I want a special color no one has in my town or anything. I want people to notice it and think wow thats a nice car. Anyone know what i mean?

Well it would really help me out if everyone could give me an idea or post some pictures of some s13 coupes.

Here are some pictures of how my car sits now..

it needs spacers in the front, and a tad lower in the front. Then paint it plum crazy purple and get all the b****es.

Having a nice car, a car that really gets peoples attention, isn't about paint color. A bright color will catch the masses attention momentarily, but thats no good, because they dont care anyway. Its the little things that count. The things real car guys will notice. Paint quality, shine. Fitment, wheels, body, gaps, and almost most of all. Part quality. A cheapo body kit will ALWAYS be a cheapo body kit, no matter what color you paint it, and we can tell.

The perfect example of this, is Toby's car. He is running Qs bumpers, which most people consider boring, yet his car has more "presence" than most on Nico.

Yeah. I understand what your saying. The body kit is pretttty ugly haha but when i bought it had the body kit already on it. I havnt taken it off yet because theres primer on the car and under the body kit is an uglyy, hideous red. Im just now getting around to the paint, but thanks for the advice. I was just gonna paint it a nice glossy black or white but I thought about how much nicer and differnt it would look with some other color.

agreed with the spacers, the over fenders upfront are taking away from the wheels, only get over fenders if u actually need them 9-9.5" inch wheels and up i believe unless u roll them which is what im doing. And imo the hood needs to go. A nice car isnt always having some ridiculous paint scheme, alot of the time its about having a clean car thats well put together with subtle touches that lets people know its like nothing else around.

my 2 cents.

Pick a color that matches your personality. Teddy picked Mulsanne green and he gets a little wild with his. I believe broadfield's is white and his is clean, goes together very well. Unless you are going for sponsors or trophies, go with your gut. Otherwise you'll end up regretting it.

Statements like that make me think you are compensating for something.

Paint a bunch of wizards on there, then mount a couple of those quidditch brooms (only broken) onto your bumper, rough the bumper up a bit with a hammer, then splash some blood on there--I mean paint.
