If my car was in such good condition then the only thing I would do is just freshen up the red and the black. Keep it stock looking cause it looks sexy just like that.

It would look phat if you made a lip for the front, just like mine.

Isn't all SI blakish grey interior??? Never seen any other color except black.

I'd go for dark gray.

You see too much red cars. In Finland, its most common color of cars. Dont know about US though.

If you are gonna change the color of the car please do not leave the engine bay red. It looks like total *** when the engine bay does not match the exterior.

Default How about...

this colour? Or lack of colour?



I'm thinking of going from white to grey/gunmetal or something similar myself. Saw a nice porsche with this colour scheme this morning...looked awesome! Black is another choice though.... Decisions, decisions.
