That color looks alot like that Turtle Wax S14.5 that ive seen in various magazines and all. I say you paint it like that then make the roof look like a turtle shell, then put like a Ninja turtle sticker somewhere on it. That would be the shiznattttt.

But really, white always looks good, and maybe some bronze or goldish mesh rims with a polished lip. THAT would look sexxxay.

I would like to paint my 240 green one day, but what I have in mind is a few shades darker. Like a green only a shade or two off of black.

Just when you thought all the visual mods in NFS:U were gay, they did it in real life! I think that show has lost it's novelty. Does it even still air on MTV?

Yeah, thats what that color remind me (the Pimp my ride one) not bad, but I will do the white and bronze fashion. Not seen regularly and looks elegant and hot at the same time.....

it doesnt matter what color its painted if its dont really nice anything looks good. if you do it half assed then stick with black/white or simple colors as it hides flaws easier.

i think they have to do wild stuff on pimp my ride though. if they dont it wouldnt be interesting. its all about blinging it black style. imagine if they aired an episode where they just paint a guys car, put some wheels, and restored the car up. that'd be very interesting...

i vote white with gold/bronze rims, that sounds really nice. i hadn't thought about it till i saw the picture, but the green does remind me a little of the pimp my ride 240. i just couldn't believe the guy was so happy over it, i would've cried.

Not really feeling the "lime green" look. Sorry, man. Still, it's your car. Go with what you like.

I disagree on the green. While the "loud green" doesn't seem to work I think a deep-and-dark green would be attractive.

That color is pretty bad. Go with something more subtle and tasteful.

Nobody does red anymore.

Also grey is a heavily un-used shade... Maybe a bluish-grey would be nice.

lol you gotta give props to the little asian dude on pimp my ride... he tried to put a sparco seat in himself and screwed it up, so he had to leave the sunroof open or off cuz his head stuck thru the hole....

lol he put on a hole body kit with 4 bolts and a bunch of 3m tape!!!

OH, and you can't forget, his speedometer didn't work, so he had post-it notes that said this many rpm's = this many miles.

The "little Asian dude" is a member here. He said half of that stuff was done for the show. Pretty cool guy, I think he's working on a KA-T now.

I think he should work on getting a new paint job and bodykit, after they screwed up that job on the show.

It looks absolutly horrid.

That reminds me too much of Pimp my Ride. If it was me and my car I would do white with black rims. Buts thats just me.

But its your car and you should decide what you want to paint it. Your the one that will be driving it everyday. Make it your own style.
