I like the color it is now. I would get the interior black though, just my $.02 cents.

My, my....I may become rich off this thread.

Two reasons to consider changing the color::

1. A lot of people think its a stock color/ EBP
2. Doesn't hide imperfections that well.

Yeah, I haven't seen another RSP ej either...

Haven't really thought about new colors yet....but I'd have to re-do the bay, valve cover, jambs, trunk, etc...BUT the bay NEEDS it desperately.

Would definitely be something unique.

Hence, royal sapphire.

The door handles ran off with the antenna, squirters, and emblems to live happily ever after.

royal sapphire pearl....but the motor was in when it was painted.

A semi-wire tuck revealed some teal paint...and riding dumped has chipped the paint on the strut towers (from previous suspension setup)

I'd like to shave it out & do a complete tuck, but people in Hell want ice water.

i like the color now
i normally hate shaved door handles
but that looks really clean

theres no way that they could blend the color at all? instead of repainting the whole thing?

Thanks. I actually have about a pint of paint that was mixed previously. I just don't want to risk it...I'd be bothered on a daily basis if I could notice it.

I like the blue, but if you want to head a new direction, maybe a dark green pearl of sorts. It sucks that some **** backed into your car and drove off.
