Why maroon? Both the reds used on the z32 and the s14 look great on s-cars

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the s14 i almost got was that color. i like something about halfway between that and the bright red like i have on my s13, something not dark by any means, but not action cop bait red at the same time, like the endless z.

I love the stock maroon my s14 came with, at first i wanted a big flashy paint job but i fell in love with the maroon. Somethign with alil more black to it would look even nicer imo.

The stock Maroon that came on S14's is the only paintjob (other than maybe black) I would sprt on a 95/96 240. It looks way better than any other color and with the sideskirts the rather homely and unsporty-S14 can look awesome. Just look at Paul (Movingviolation240) or Aprille's (GirlRacerS14?) S14's.

the maroon is nice on the car. i have a carbon fiber hood as well to go with the car, and in March i'm buying some motegi mr7 gunmetal wheels. the maroon will go excellent w/ the dark rims n hood as i've photoshopped it on other rides.

Maroon looks good, way better than red IMO. Best of luck and post up some pics when its done.
