i think satin took over your car dude. lol. no no but i do really love black, however i dont think i would paint it black completely. it's been done so many times, plus my last car got painted midnight blue (****ing beautiful color), not the everyday midnight blue, it was ****ing sweet though. so now i have to go with a lighter color to mix it up a bit. plus, orange is a color ive wanted to paint a car for quite sometime and i think this kouki would look bangin.

oh and hey dude, where are the kouki skirts?! they are a must have, i think.

orange/black combo... it's your car.

have it done by halloween!

The car had Kouki skirts.. It came with every single option out of the factory.. But I sold the skirts, and planned on putting Navan ones on.. But now I'm debating whether I want to get OEM skirts back. Plan A:3" Nissan front lipKouki skirtsJDM rear bumperJDM rear skirts(all molded)Navan spoiler

Plan B:3" Nissan front lipNavan skirtsNavan rear valencesNavan spoiler

What ya think?

I think you post up that same pic of your car too often. I swear, I've seen that same pic on at least 4 different threads the past couple days for almost no apparent reason

[97ka-t]

Sorryy- yeah, I probably posted one too many pics of my car.. I'll be more conservative with pictures..

shift_oversteer was it more since you didnt do any prep work? im guessing either your car was very very clean or they preped it and charged you extra. isnt that their thing, you do the prep we paint it for the 250 deal? btw got any more pics of your car? looks awesome.

I have seen a lot of budget paint jobs.

A lot will screw your whole car up (my brother's great looking RX7, but wanted a re-color...the whole engine bay was oversprayed, after my dad sunk a ton of cash into it included the ruined engine harness...plus others that had leather seats, gauges, glass, wheels and tires, coilovers, brakes, etc with overspray on them).

Some can do great jobs. I think it depends on the painter though...some of these guys are fantastic and later 'graduate' to better shops or their own, others are ??????????

^^ That S13 has the color scheme I was referring to. I think that looks hot.

any of the base colors. Go to maaco and look at there color book and pick from there. Don't pick annoying bright colors. Apple green,mango orange. Just looking at those colors on the street hert my eyes and give me a headache.

Because if we all had all black 240SX's it would just get creepy

I think the orange/black idea is fine. I have not been much for two tones myself. But in the end it's your car. If you get the black pieces actually painted, it shouldn't look like they are unpainted.

Personally, I want one solid color, dark green, the sort that looks black at night but greenish in the day. Essentially, I want it color matched to "Dark Angels Green" from Warhammer 40k.

i cant stand green, especially after scratches, dings, and peels that th previous owner had to ruin the car with! bastard!
