Default Sol goin to paint!

I know it's my decision to make, but wanted to get some opinions on pain so that i don't see every mouth GAY when they see it roll by. it's currently paradise green

- Two tone: White with black spoiler, top, mirrors, lights (like a Storm trooper haha)
- snake skin green from a Viper
- gunmetal-ish
- championship white

here are pics of current paint, ghetto MS Paint version of storm trooper, and viper color

Man, Paradise Green is such a cool color on del Sol's, and somewhat rare too. Why change it??

Out of your selections though, I guess CW (NOT the two toned white/black, you won't win any popularity contests with that 1998-esque paint scheme). White is a nice color for del Sol's IMO, here's my old one:

I think the point of these threads is that the OP needs a little help to jump start his imagination. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

^^X2 everyone is telling you what they want, i think cw looks great, but who cares i am not driving it paint it pink if you want, you will be the one sitting in it, dont spend all that money by a poll on opinions of others, if you like it go for it, who cares if someone disagrees, what does their negative comments matter to you, will you go home and cry...? i dont think so. do what makes you happy bro!!

i'm not using the poll to make my decision, just looking for opinions and ideas from people who have seen these types of things before....thanks for the responses!

leaning towards white and adding my own touches to make it my own
