Default Paint opinions wanted (56k warned)

ok, I need some help deciding on a color for my car, but i want some opinions from others.

I am planing on repainting my car for two reasons. First, there are some nice rock chips in the front paint and Second, It was painted like this back in '97 and ever since the Fast & Furi's came out, i wanted to change it.

Anyways, so far I have thought about painting the car some color blue or painting it silver. If you have any other ideas let me know. If any one can do a little photoshoping and change it that would be great. These pics arent that great because it was cloudy outside, but you get the point.

Any comments and Flames are welcome.





this is one from the summer with my rims on the car.

I once saw a dark green bmw color on that prelude back in 98.. it was turbo wide body with some crazy rims I wanted it so bad even though it would be 3 years of sitting in front of my house.. and it was selling for 4,000 dollars.. anyway bmw's old school dark metallic green is real nice.

Maybe a Dark blue color or that Silver is nice. But damn...seeing those 2 stripes reminds me of early 90's when people were doing that
