Cool I love your grills...

where did you get them (upper and lower)?

Since you are painting...might as well go custom with some swirls, multiple colors, or maybe just wrap it to keep the value of the car with the original paint color...when selling it just unwrap it...

Yeah--I think it is more "blue" in real life than in those pics.

My friend recently bought a crz and it is quite blue.
To me, the old Eg hatches were more green.

my grill is stock......??
i only added Mugen Lip Kit to my car...
thats abt it...

i cant do multiple colors.....the china automotive department takes pictures of the car every year when you do inspections and stuff...
its a b!tch....i have to depart my mod stuff, back to stock then they'll have my car inspected...if i dnt inspect my car, i cant buy insruance......no insurance i cant drive...

so the law is basicly like...no modding cars.....if u mod it....take it all off then put it back on when your done.....

I kind of like "classic" colors.

Black, White, Red...some would say boring. But it seems to me that metalics or shades go through cycles. Remember the mid 90's when it seemed every 3rd vehicle was metalic Green? I'd rather stick with the classics...maybe not the most popular, but I'm not going to wake up in 2 years and suddenly notice everyone is driving that same color....

You want change and sound like you are tired and have lost the battle with trying to upkeep black...so I doubt you'd stick with black....but clean and in good shape? I still think black is one of the sharpest looking vehicles.

You sure what you don't want is simply a good wax/polish and detailing. Many of the scratches and swirls would likely not be visible.

If not...pick what you want. Just don't go too Candy Shop....if you want my opinion.

Another opinion of mine that you won't like...I've noticed a lot of people going with the white vehicles (which I like) but black roofs...

I hate the white with black roof look. Looks like a Mohawk or a Skunk. Okay, if you like Mohawks or skunks....But it's just not a look I like.

That yellow at the top of the page catches my eye every time. If that color had been available, it would be in my garage right now.

No orange?

If you are set against orange, my vote is for yellow!
