Pink! Come on, it's your car, not our's! Do whatever you like. Honestly you can put a wing on and if you like it, that's all that matters.

Aside from the fact it is your car and so your choice if you stick with black then you don't have to worry about door shuts or engine bay and stuff like that.

I'm a fan of black. Plus, like already said, it's a bit easier/quicker than changing colors fully.

Unless your gonna take out the motor and paint the engine bay and door jams, then paint it whatever color. But if not then just stay with black

I was going to suggest PINK...

How about LIGHT BROWN or DIRTY BROWN so you wouldn't notice if its clean or not.

Its really up to you, you can paint it black and just keep it clean all the time.
