I sold my 17's and am getting some 16" rota slipstreams and I need to decide what color to get. Initially I wanted gunmetal, but recently I'm finding them really dark and revolution motorsports is out of stock and I'd like to get them shipped in 2 weeks. I posted some pics of my car so you get an idea of the color. Thanks

bronze+green=

 

I don't see your vote jk... I like bronze on dark green but I'm a little unsure of how it'd look on a green like mine.

 

Bronze + Silver =

 

When I saw the first picture I thought maybe you were gonna paint your car green or something..then the last picture it actually looks green . Well I got a forrest green 96 SE with those one off GSR wheels from 96 and I painted em black and it looks real good...your is much lighter than mine though. Then again black wheels just says WOAH! no matter what.

 

Anyone for white? I forgot that option

Anyway now that I've got peoples opinions, I'm actually thinking of pulling a crazy one and thinking about respraying the car another color. I would keep it green to make the engine bay not too different looking. I'm thinking of painting it like Tony the tiger's paradise blue green.

Now I know it'd look better, but I'm trying to decide whether or not it'd be A) worth the extra money, B) hurt resale, C) make the car look dumb with the hood up. I'm being quoted about $1500 CDN for the following:

-trim (spray)
-hood (respray)
-bumpers (respray)
-doors (dent fixes, surface rust)
-rear quarter (surface rust)
-hatch (including bodywork)
-aftermarket WW lip, mugen skirts (spray)

I only started thinking about changing colors after I got quoted that price. Now my question is how much more do you think it'd cost to respray the entire car a different color excluding the engine bay?

here's the color I had in mind, and please compare differences to original.

bronze will be my next rims if I have to get one....this is mine for now

 

I have the same color car as Tony and I plan on going with the new konig heliums in bronze. I just wish they came in 16 inch, but 15's are fine. Nice and light.
