I love this car. But I'd never consider the color for myself.

Go with your gut and make it express you!
Im thinking a metallic red/orange. Either that or some sort of blue with alot of depth. I want something that snaps in the sunlight but isnt too gawdy.

You should check out the Dupont Hot Hues color samples then. They have an electric razberry color that might intrigue you too. Very close to red but with a little more bling.

Default Polo Green

I just looked at a 96 in a dark metallic green. (OEM color) It is a great color. maybe they will bring it back as Bowling Green.

Im thinking JSB over Black seperated by a thin silver connecting stripe. OEM colors but different.
I like that idea.

This is mine:
The first two show the metallic

Oh lord no black please, I don't know how you guys handle it. Nothing looks better than perfect black paint IMO but it shows everything.

Anything but this. That is the Purple Smash car. Color changes with lighting and angle.
