Did you get insurance quotes and such already to see how much money you have to work with? I would get all that squared away before picking things out

You are right I need to see what the insurance has to say. I haven't heard from them still because they are still trying to get ahold of my witness.

I think the c5 color your talking about is corvette lightning blue met, I know b/c I saw it sprayed on a 3rd gen rx7 with one hell of a built LS1. It wasnt finished yet, but they were talkin up in the 600hp range on that mofo. Anyways, if youve got dents you need to get rid of then it might be worth it to change the color if thats what you really want. If you go with some sort of pearl, make sure you have a good painter doin it in a nice paintroom, and get atleast 4 layers of clear coat. You could even do 2 dif colors of pearl fo a kinda chamelion look, wouldnt change colors like chameleon does tho. I have a feeling that your not goin to do that as it may appear a little ricey.

Reverend the Rb25 transmission which is rwd bolts up to the rb26 so you can use that transmission but no 6spd if I'm correct

The Plum color the new Zs are.

My real vote is to keep it the same. My brother got his red car done navy blue, and it looked kinda dumb when he'd open the hood or something like that.

I most likely will keep the same color. It will be easier I think, plus I will be getting the top, trunklid and spoiler, and rear bumper painted along with the front end and hood. They need painting. Not because of fading much (the rear bumper is fading some actually) but because of waterspots on the clearcoat.

black always looks good, dark metallic blue would be a nice choice also though

Hey OneFastStanza in your sig it says,"Only girls with a ba-donk-a-donk butt need apply!" Its supposed to be ba-doon-ka-doonk. I hear people say it like that so many times instead like it was said in Fatty Girl. I think Kieth Murray made that word up, but if it was pronounced as ba-donk-a-donk then ignore what I said.


You mean Tracy Morgan? No he said it as ba-donk-a-donk hehe. I have seen that Crank Yankers clip many many times hehe :D

Oh! Well I thought that you were copying the from the Fatty Girl song. Did they say that on the Crank Yankers before or after the song was made?
