Default Dont post here plz

I photoshopped a bunch of pics of my car, and I'd like to hear what you would think is best! Tell me what you think, even if you can recognize the crappy photoshop skills I have, especially making it white from purple, it's real shitty but try to not mind the crappy skills just the color. I'm getting my paintjob done this summer, it's going to be a decent price, as I will strip it and remove the motor for the painter.

BLUE


BLACK


BROWN/RED


BLUE/BLACK


WHITE


STOCK PURPLE


Thanks for your input!

I like white, but I'm a little biased towards that color haha....I would go blue if I were you. Not to many EK's have that color so it would be something semi-original....

Hmm for me it's a tossup between 3 colors at the moment:

350 Brickyard Red

Championship White (new mirrors, CF hood/wing/lip absolutely necessary)

Repainted Stock with tons of clearcoat

because from that picture you can't notice the millions of scratches and swirl marks the previous owner (who happened to work construction) put on the car.

Maybe the blue only looks good because it was photoshopped so easy. It was alot easier to do than the others, so I'm weary
