TinyGiant · 10-19-2008, 06:46 AM

What color would you guys recommend?

i was thinking this green

here is my car

TinyGiant · 10-19-2008, 06:52 AM

after playing with photoshop.. i think i might want to do the blue

TinyGiant · 10-19-2008, 06:53 AM

i wanted a baby blue.. but i cant find the G2 kit in a baby blue

cali yaris · 10-19-2008, 07:17 AM

NO on the green.

Blue is just ok, but it won't stand out. If you want subtle, that's the way to go.

For pop, I vote for orange or red.

Ferret_san · 10-19-2008, 07:17 AM

I think that you would have too much blue then

How about red / yellow / orange or green

BettyWoohoo · 10-19-2008, 07:31 AM

How about white?? I think the best choice is blue. It would look awesome with your rims! A pop of color hiding in there. Green wouldn't match..

DFA · 10-19-2008, 07:39 AM

White actually sounds really interesting

cleong · 10-19-2008, 07:42 AM

Leave the drums in black, they aren't worth showing off, unless you have rear disc calipers as well.

I am partial to gold calipers though. Hit them up with a clearcoat after you're done with the colour coat though.

TinyGiant · 10-19-2008, 07:54 AM

i was considering the orange they had ..

blue looks neat too.. since it it would nearly match the body... lol make it look like a toy car or something,.

its tough.. after PS the green.. i decided against it...

i'll have to PS some white and check it out :)

PETERPOOP · 10-19-2008, 08:19 AM

red

thatboyjer · 10-19-2008, 08:35 AM

do ALL the colors. >:D

ChinoCharles · 10-19-2008, 08:40 AM

Orange. If you look at the front of your car, the only true "color" other than blue is the orange in your headlight. I think it would bring that turn signal into the scheme of the car... make it look less like a safety feature and more like it belongs. I know, it is an OCD way of putting it, but it makes sense to me!

YarisSedan · 10-19-2008, 11:41 AM

Red is always a classic color

drbilal · 10-19-2008, 12:07 PM

Red.

Do post some pics once uv completed, thanks.

*kimona* · 10-19-2008, 12:19 PM

I'd do them in yellow.

KCALB SIRAY · 10-19-2008, 12:52 PM

Gold to me would look awesome

lol as always there is no resounding recommendation lol.

i'll have to think on it.

Red is definitely classic... but that doesnt mean the best option.. i'll have to play with photoshop a little more and see what i think looks best..

Doing orange to tie in the blinkers and such really isnt a bad idea... but i would think that at some point i'd probably blow some money and get the upgraded lights..

but orange was a serious option.. i think it goes good with the blue..

arg... sometimes i hate having options
