Default Paint color-- 2 options, what do you think?

Ok, well I used to have my RG's on my EH2, but I got in an accident with it and I'm going to buy a new shell. I'll have money for paint and body work, but I can't decide on a paint color between the 2 colors that are on the ADVAN wheels-- either the navy blue on the trim stripe, or the actual gold.

It will be a '92-'95 coupe or HB.

I'm dropping in my 750whp Sport FWD engine into it and this car will be going around the country next year at the NHRA races-- if it were only a street car, I'd definatly just do the blue, but the gold could be an eye-catcher-- keep in mind this car will partially used to advertise the shop that we run here in town.

Here's the wheels:


This is a VW color off the '99-00 GTI's-- it's called Futura yellow. It's the best match I've seen so far.

I'd personally do the navy blue. If you had the exact color match for the rims that'd be cool but I think that VW yellow would be an eye catcher but kind of throw the whole matching color theme off because it isnt an exact match. Just my $.02

I think I'm going to go with the yellow-- normally I would say the more it sticks out the worse off I am, but in this case, it's primaly going to be driven at tracks all over the country to advertise a business, so I want it to stick out more. The shop name will have a navy blue shadow and chrome lettering, like on our drag car--

Don't worry-- it will look good Thanks for the input, guys.
