Car looks sick man. I want those skirts. Next time you go on a buying binge grab some sort of rear valence, it'll tie the aero together nicely.

Thought I would give my opinion. Please do not paint it the color Teddy had his car. That was so nasty looking. Do something bright.

I hate any dark colors. Especially when the color is going to be flat. I'd rather have a bright flat color then dark.

To be honest I say white.

hmmmthe thing is, my rear quarters are dented sometimes. theres a hammered out dent back there too. there are small dents everywhere. my front fenders are ugly.the car is not clean enough for white.

unless something really catches my attention, i am sticking with that burgundy color.

burgundy is a really ugly color for a car. im not sure why that even crossed your mind

dude. No offence, I love this build. I have been following it almost since the begining, But you need to grab your own style. dont take someone else's. thats the only thing that makes it your car.

Actually I think dark colors show dents and imperfections in the body while on the other hand light colors do not as bad my 240 is white the only dent it has is above the door handle and u cant even tell its there, just my 2 cents

but I think lime green with black rims would be awesome just my opinion! Either way I think your car looks really good red

i agree man, same wheels, same color wheels, same paint as teddy is a bit much.im painting my wheels either way because they have some messed up spots. white seems like the only option.

and for paint, there isnt any other color that i can get as spray paint that i like.
